George Bailey has spent his entire life giving to the people of Bedford Falls. All that prevents rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town is George's modest building and loan company. But on Christmas Eve the business's $8,000 is lost and George's troubles begin.

It's a wonderful life! It's a wonderful world, thanks to everyone that lives in it.
A therapeutic film that has the ability to make us love the world we live in and the life we so despise. Now the protagonist lives in a fairly similar world, where he has to live a very compromised life for his town, family and ideals but when things get so hard, he needs a little divine help which this film could be for desperate souls that live in the real world. This film is a gracious gift from the talented cast & crew that poured their soul into making it what it is. A masterpiece of it's own.
Everything in the film is beautifully & impeccably executed from the gorgeous cinematography to the charismatic performers that live in it. But it is suprisingly irritating for a good amount of time i.e, atleast until the last act, only because of the struggles our protagonist has to endure despite having some charming and fun moments in between. And even though the main antogonistic character is pretty much one dimensional and the script seems to be only aiming for that last act from the beginning, all of it together serves more than their purpose in making the film great.
8.8/10. An incredible, life-affirming movie that has enough of a dark heart to earn the amazingly heart-warming sequence at the film's climax. Some of the angel stuff gets a little silly at points, but it's still just a stellar look at the advantages and pitfalls of the road not traveled, what doing and being good takes from you, and the invisible but strong connections within a community that form when a noble man takes the world on his shoulders when he has to. Stewart gives the performance of a lifetime, selling the nobility but vulnerability of George Bailey with perfection, the highs and lows and joys and anger and despondency and glee of the character with unparalleled commitment, charm, and pathos. This one's a classic for a reason.
