Right in time for a more lighthearted time of year comes “Home for the Holidays” from filmmaker Christian Sorenson Hansen, an elegant depiction of a normal day in the life of the owner of a bowling alley. As the man’s day progresses, his mood becomes more and more upbeat, even as the tasks on his to-do list seemingly become more and more mundane. Shot with an undeniable eye for the beauty in everyday life, Hansen’s film feels as real as a scripted short can feel, emotions so close to home that they’re hard not to feel. Soundtracked by a song of the same name from The Wheeler Brothers, “Home for the Holidays” elicits a slight smile for many reasons, and it most certainly deserves it.
