This is perhaps one of the worst trailers I have ever seen, based on the fact that I’ve seen A Christmas Tale and the trailer in no way represents how I felt while watching the film.  I also think anyone who goes to see the film based on the trailer will be confused by the film that they are shown:

A Christmas Tale does contain some aspects of that trailer but overall the film is much darker and contains some very non-traditional narrative elements.  It is a beautiful, complex film, and it makes me sad to see it boiled down to a Christmas feel good film. 

But don’t just take my word for it, takepart and read a review from online critic Acquarello about the film and see if it matches the trailer above.
