Comedy. Musical A Very Murray Christmas is co-written and directed by Sofia Coppola, Netflix announced. It’s described as an “an homage to the classic variety show featuring Bill Murray playing himself, as he worries no one will show up to his TV show due to a terrible snow storm in New York City. Through luck and perseverance, guests arrive at the Carlyle hotel to help him; dancing and singing in holiday spirit.”

	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'A Very Murray Christmas' delivers exactly what's been promised all along--a show!"	POS
United States	Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Post	"'An endearingly oddball tribute to the variety specials of yore. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"This is an old soul's Christmas special. This is also a Christmas special for grown-ups (...) because Coppola's trademark dreamy/languid treatment of the material would bore younger viewers."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"'A Very Murray Christmas' has a sweetness (...) that keeps it from lapsing fully into self-indulgence."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The result is a show that probably isn’t destined for repeat viewings but provides a few wry moments and even a listenable song or two."	NEU
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"There is a credible, melancholy parable about nurturing love in the face of darkness—a small, precious gift for a blue Christmas season."	POS
