A Christas Party
It’s a testament to Alexander Helmer that his feature, aptly titled A Christmas Party, subverts expectations as it treads familiar territory, resulting in a holiday comedy that is as gently moving as it is uproariously funny.
Why This New Holiday Movie Is a Must-Watch.
Finally, a holiday classic is here to show us the true honesty behind the season and what a typical gathering really looks like.
It’s a film that’s well-acted for a true indie film, highlighted by its two leads, and the writing does a really excellent job of capturing the essence of every holiday party you’ve attended.
Alex Helmer's A Christmas Party is a fun, endearing, and surprisingly thoughtful microbudget feature that captures both the warmth and the chaos of the holiday season.
A warm, sharply funny, and heartfelt ensemble comedy that blends chaotic party antics with genuine moments of hope and connection.
I simply cannot stress enough how impressive Alex Helmer's directorial debut is, in everything from story, to comedy, to presentation.
A Christmas Party is an achievement which deserves all the praise that it receives.

Did not expect that. Wow.
- Talha Ashraf
An impressive debut that is essentially two people talking in a room, but is consistently engaging.
- Katie At The Movies
Themes of grandeur, legacy after death, and paternal connection are really difficult topics to dissect in 20 minutes and in your first picture but Alex Helmer did a fantastic job here and shows he had a very deft and graceful hand.
