The sun currently sets at 4.30pm in Los Angeles which has really been testing my brain in terms of serotonin production. Movies to the rescue.

There are some movies that I associate so strongly with December - gloomy but festive, uneasy but strangely hopeful. I love a joyful holiday classic as much as the next person but there’s something to be said about the unlikely stories I return to for comfort during this time of year. David Fincher movies are top of that list for me, I rewatch Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo pretty much every December. Something about the icy color palette, desolate locations and unstable characters - maybe they make the real world seem brighter in contrast?

Everyone’s definition of a “December movie” is different, so I asked some friends to share their favorites. Enjoy.
