“#Star-studded cast comes ‘out’ for the holidays<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n This is the year TV finally made the Yuletide gay: Along with this sparkly rom-com from Hulu, Hallmark and Lifetime are debuting same-sex holiday flicks. But \u201cHappiest Season\u201d<\/a> (available to stream starting Nov. 25) boasts the highest-wattage cast by far, with Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis starring as a couple attempting to squeeze back into the closet for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Stewart plays very much to type as Abby, a low-key Pittsburgh grad student who rolls her eyes at the Christmas season. But her live-in girlfriend Harper (Davis, from television\u2019s \u201cHalt and Catch Fire\u201d and the most recent \u201cTerminator\u201d movie) insists they spend the week celebrating with Harper\u2019s family \u2014 then, en route, drops the bomb that she hasn\u2019t come out to them yet. Harper\u2019s dad (Victor Garber) is running for mayor of their town, and app<\/a>arently having a lesbian daughter isn\u2019t on his wish list. Thus the setup: Abby must pretend she\u2019s just a roommate, and Harper that she\u2019s straight and single.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappiest Season\u201d fits perfectly in the wheelhouse of wacky-big-family Christmas movies<\/a>, and Harper\u2019s house becomes a beehive of dysfunction as the clan gathers. Alison Brie plays Sloane, Hunter\u2019s type-A sister consumed by Goop-aspirational motherhood, while the very funny Mary Holland (writing partner of director Clea DuVall) is their oddball sibling Jane. Mary Steenburgen radiates manic energy as the mom who relentlessly tries to get that perfect group photo.<\/p>\n

Harper\u2019s cover story for Abby \u2014 that she\u2019s an orphan with nowhere to go for the holiday \u2014 seems a little Dickensian for this modern movie, but Stewart\u2019s tight smile every time someone looks at her with teary-eyed pity, or relegates her to the wonky chair at the family table, is reliably amusing. Stewart and Davis have a fizzy chemistry as they try to live a double life during their five-day stint at the family home, and it\u2019s nice to see a mainstream rom-com that doesn\u2019t shy away from smooching between its female leads.<\/p>\n

A surprisingly earnest Aubrey Plaza appears as a former love of Harper\u2019s, now a family friend who bears the scars of teen betrayal. But it\u2019s Dan Levy (\u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d) who\u2019s MVP of this film as Abby\u2019s pal John. He\u2019s a fantastic riff on the gay-best-friend role, which plays very differently when your leads are lesbians.<\/p>\n

Tonally, \u201cHappiest Season\u201d is a bit uneven; it can move from broad hijinks to high emotion a little too quickly. But it also delivers wonderfully heartfelt moments, notably Levy\u2019s speech about empathy and coming out. Director Clea DuVall (\u201cThe Intervention\u201d), who\u2019s out herself, deftly navigates this vaguely non-traditional plot right into the seasonal comfort zone.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
