“Sincerity is not manipulation.”
The film risks embarrassment to make emotion communal, and that openness is harder than fashionable detachment.

Put Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.

Every cue tells you exactly what to feel and when, leaving sentiment to do the work character should have done.
