Being There
1979130 minComedy, Drama 7.6

A simple-minded gardener named Chance has spent all his life in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. When the man dies, Chance is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from television.

Editor's Verdict

NO

"Despite having a 'Holiday Release' year, 'Being There' shows no meaningful connection to Christmas in its setting, plot, themes, or iconography. The story focuses purely on social satire and the protagonist's unintentional rise to prominence, entirely independent of any holiday elements."
