The Maclean brothers, Paul and Norman, live a relatively idyllic life in rural Montana, spending much of their time fly fishing. The sons of a minister, the boys eventually part company when Norman moves east to attend college, leaving his rebellious brother to find trouble back home. When Norman finally returns, the siblings resume their fishing outings, and assess where they've been and where they're going.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"A River Runs Through It is a coming-of-age drama focused on themes of brotherhood, legacy, and loss in Montana. There is no indication that the setting, plot, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season."
