We all carry certain dreams and secret wishes inside us. We know about some; some of them we'd like to suppress and some we allow to ourselves to be said out loud or even lived out. Heroes of our story will get a chance to wish something and their lives will aim in the directions they have determined. A chain of "accidents" will grant them what they'd wished and they get their chance to live it up. In our lives we are responsible not only for everything we do but also for what we say, what we think and what we are yearning for. Our mind's eye can never beat the imagination of the universe when the facts begin to fit together. (official distributor synopsis)

At times deliberately predictable, wrapped in an unnecessarily large amount of characters, but so personal that I eventually slowly succumbed to it. Although Karin Krajčo Babinská doesn't spare us even an unnecessary storyline, I have no problem with it, considering that I understand the essence of an author's pride. It just means it will take a peaceful screening at home (maybe next Christmas) for me to convince myself whether this attempt to convince me of the necessity of the entire wide scope was just a big con. 70% and rounding up after long hesitation. Even if only because of that damn song "Cesta" (Path), which is obviously irresistible for me even on the hundredth listen.

Empty of content, shallow in character modeling, yet pleasing to the eye. That's what happens when it’s a film from the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts. Not to mention that Karin Babinská is still one of the most talented filmmakers of the last few years.

It's a nice Christmas movie that thinks it's very clever in its script, even though the characters are actually caricatures the creators play with as they need, so it's essentially a classic Christmas movie with added romance and the setting of the Czech Globus. I don't like Krajčo, but he's a good actor, but Vica is nicer to look at.

This film is a little bit of everything: a bit melancholic, a bit absurd, a bit fairytale-like but also dramatic. Add in Richard Krajčo and his musical selection, which is an excellent fit for the movie. For the first time in my memory, Vica Kerekes here looks like she’s not trying to please everyone. Jakub Prachař soon learned that black hair doesn’t suit him and David Novotný looks like a Slavia Praha fan. I liked it; it did have the Christmas charm it promised.

You mustn’t approach Wings of Christmas with your intellect. It is a melancholic, dreamlike fairy tale with likable characters suffering from all kinds of human weaknesses. The film’s characters are desperately searching for something they either don’t need or have right in front of their noses without even knowing it. And the theme song fits the film perfectly.
