Something From Tiffany's Is a Christmas Movie With a Jewish Protagonist, and It's About Time
are everywhere right now, but Prime Video's latest for the genre, Something From Tiffany's, has something I've never seen before: When Ethan (Kendrick Sampson) wishes Rachel (Zoey Deutch) a “Merry Christmas,” she responds: “I'm Jewish, by the way!” Without skipping a beat, Ethan immediately wishes her a Happy Hanukkah. Rachel smiles and eventually walks away, but not before shouting out a cheerful goodbye. It's a line that I've said (and thought about saying more) during every holiday season when someone inevitably wishes me, a Jew, Merry Christmas.
