Leave your thoughts about Before the Winter Chill.
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabAuteuil, looking jowly and weatherbeaten, brings bafflement and pathos to his role as the man suddenly consumed by self-loathing. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterYou need to be patient with Before The Winter Chill. It is a gloomy, slow-burning film that adds insight and intrigue the way an artist brings texture and colour to a painting. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyElegant if frosty, and just a touch too long in the tooth. |
| El FinancieroJorge Ayala BlancoAn intriguing thriller based on melancholy, mystery, vagueness, ambiguity and perfectionism. [full review in Spanish] |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Aine O'ConnorAll the performances are very good, I find Scott Thomas really watchable, but while everyone being a bit resigned might be reality for many, it isn't engaging. |
| Radio TimesTrevor JohnstonAnother middle-class, midlife crisis unfolds here in the way French cinema does so well. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineReuniting with filmmaker Philippe Claudel (I've Loved You So Long), Kristin Scott Thomas delivers yet another brittle, understated performance as a woman who isn't always likeable but is hugely sympathetic. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeA final ludicrous reveal drags us from high-end art cinema to the world of Midsomer Murders. Classy, for all that. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotSlow to ignite, but watchable if you are intrigued by elegant French living, menopausal men or arguing about denouements all the way home. |
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanThere's truth in the central relationship metaphor of looking after the family garden "before the winter chill", but it's scant cinematic recompense for the weed patch where events culminate. |
