In this astonishingly beautiful drama, recently widowed photographer Frances (Academy Award(c) winner Emma Thompson) lives with her increasingly distant son and finds her life radically changed with the arrival of her mother, Elspeth (Phyllida Law, Thompson#s real-life mother).

I'm not really sure what attracted me to this film, but once I started watching it I couldn't stop. Perhaps it was the dreariness of the setting, or the obnoxiousness of the dialog, but I guess the main reason I watched was to see if a plot ever realy developed. I kept hoping that something of significance would eventually happen, but it really never did.
The characters are quirky and shallow. You don't know much more about them than when the film began. The older mother kept asking ... Read More

"Come in from the cold" the tagline to 1997's The Winter Guest invites us, and viewers who accept this faint beckoning soon look on as the cast of this unique production from Scotland does just that in one singularly metaphorical fashion or another. This is a quiet movie that says little with the spoken word and yet still tells one of the most poignantly rich stories ever committed to film. The Winter Guest takes place all in one frozen winter day in a town in rural Scotland, and brings four intertwined ... Read More

I thought this was a wonderful movie of human interest. Four stories occur simultaneously: two youngish boys with a kitten discussing currently relevant things to them, a mother coming to visit her widowed daughter with both hashing out and trying to settle many issues, two teenagers exploring and testing each other, and two elderly ladies taking a trip to attend a funeral. The four separate stories are nicely joined with one another with interesting dialogue and events. The settings are absolutely gorgeous, ... Read More

World famous actor Alan Rickman cowrote and directed this sleepy little gem of a film.As seen in lives of four pairings of people on a single cold winter's day in Scotland, musings and observations about life from the cradle to the grave and the necessity for connection through it all are explored.The screenplay is adapted from a play which is quite obvious in watching this character-rich drama,touched with sincerity and sagacity, sometimes beyond it's years.
The first coupling of people is an elderly ... Read More

This is NOT an action thriller. It is quiet and studied.
But it's not Disney either: it stares hard into life's
awkward joys and painful times. This is a beautiful
psychological drama
about the transitional crises at all times of life,
and I got a surprising existential epiphany from it.
(about the two basic things you need to get on in life..
..see if you can find the commonalities!)
Pre-teen angst, young teen, widowed, and end-of-life concerns,
in a pretty, ... Read More
