Amy Taubin Village Voice I'd welcome another chance to see Abel Ferrara's R-Xmas, a vertiginous, anti-Sopranos riff on middle-class drug dealers...Ferrara's uncharacteristic restraint and understatement registered as a unique accomplishment. Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness De Matteo ... boasts enough intelligence, attitude and ferocity to ignite even the most mundane of moments. Rated: B+ Jun 22, 2006 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Ferrara's best film in years. Rated: 3/4 Nov 22, 2002 Full Review Eve Tushnet Patheos I always enjoy Ferrara’s low-slung sensibility (and an especially low-slung and sidelong camera here–lotta fragmentary or child’s-eye view shots), but I don’t know that I bought what this film was selling. Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Inspired by a supposedly true story by Cassandra De Jesus, this low-key drama is prime Abel Ferrara territory: a New York tale rumbling with irony and ambiguity.

Audience Member Ao situar os acontecimento de "'R Xmas" numa Nova Iorque prestes a ser limpa por Giuliani, Abel Ferrara estaria provavelmente a assumir que este seria o seu último deal de rua, antes da lei tomar conta da cidade. O facto de "'R Xmas" decorrer nas vésperas de Natal contribui também para que todo o filme represente uma janela de tempo aberta para a redenção (dos personagens e do próprio Ferrara). A verdade é que nunca até aqui o realizador tinha parecido tão moderado e cauteloso na representação da violência: em "'R Xmas" quase não há tiros e as cenas de pancada são escassas. Nem tão pouco existe por aqui uma noção clara de quais são os heróis e os vilões, o que terá também contribuído para o seu redondo fracasso comercial (foi directamente para vídeo em muitos países certamente). Atípica também é a escolha de uma protagonista (uma poderosa Drea de Matteo) para o principal papel de punho e convicção, num cinema em que quase sempre são os homens a medir forças. Fica a ideia de que "'R Xmas" conclui um ciclo no percurso de Abel Ferrara, ao mesmo tempo que lhe oferece uma derradeira oportunidade para se despedir em paz das armas e das drogas que dominam tantos dos seus filmes (a partir daqui o realizador só muito raramente voltou a tocar nesses vícios e ultimamente até tem surgido associado a um cinema de crença). Sem ser um objecto especialmente cativante, "'R Xmas" merece ser enquadrado no puzzle Ferrara e recuperado depois de ter estreado quase sem promoção. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The other side of Christmas consumerism according to Abel Ferrara. Rated 4/5 Stars •Rated 4 out of 5 stars01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was really hyped to find a christmas movie starring the ever cool Ice-T, but after watching it a couple times i'm sorry to say it sucks. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Gritty, realistic and really excellent performances, especially Drea de Matteo, she is really superb. Good story, fast pace, interesting. Rated 3/5 Stars •Rated 3 out of 5 stars01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member [url="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rxmas/dvd.php?select=3"][img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/46/199946.jpg[/img][/url] An understated Ferrara delight. An authentic look at a family attempting to make its way through the best schools, best shops, best homes by dealing drugs in NYC. I was completely surprised by this film. I had no expectations for this film. Soundtrack was also good. The addicted American Consumer strikes again. Rated 3/5 Stars •Rated 3 out of 5 stars02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Now I know there is a lot of negativity surrounding this film, but come on, Ferrera makes even the most simplistic tale seem like a deep, dark study into our society....and more so than most directors. Good improvised performances from Braccato & De Matteo, and personally a good brief turn by Ice T. I know I'll be ribbed for this review, but may Ferrera go on and make films long into future.

Naturally, the only place that can provide cheer — and a possible reconciliation — is the Minnesota-based home of Graham's parents. The movie never pinpoints the exact setting — it was shot in British Columbia — but it's fair to assume it's not close to Minneapolis.
