Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
During a winter of record-breaking cold; an apocalyptic blackout strands a group of Brooklynites in a remote farmhouse. At first it's a party of sex; drugs; and yoga. But as supplies dwindle; they turn against one another.
Leave your thoughts about First Winter.
| IndiewireEric KohnDickinson's hauntingly naturalistic look at disgruntled young adults trapped in the country following an urban disaster plays like "Martha Marcy May Marlene" transported to a post-apocalyptic survival narrative -- with lots of yoga and sex. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA disturbing nightmare flick on the down side of life on a hippie commune in the sticks. |
| Village VoiceAndrew SchenkerEven when things start to go awry for our group (thanks to jealousy, illness, a dwindling food stock) Dickinson's anti-dramatic methodology proves ill-suited to the task of generating narrative interest. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe glue holding the film together is Adam Newport-Berra's elegant hand-held cinematography, which captures changing shades of winter and the frightened faces in natural light with an astonishing intensity. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerThe film's interests are mainly relegated to wallowing in the frigid-starvation-suffering of its protagonists. |
| User ReviewJanice DHighly recommended. Haunting, beautiful and unflinching in its basilisk gaze on the consequences brought about by the chasm between the expression of our cultural values and the core nature of the human experience. |
| User ReviewGina BCamera shots captured exterior winter landscape in Upstate NY beautifully. |
| User ReviewPatryk CIt's a hipsteri-fic kind of entertainment, where a bunch of weird, bearded dudes and their laid-back girlfriends try to survive through a rough winter (looking like a strange, colossal apocalyptic nightmare, where nothing spectacular really happens, yet we still have to be convinced that there is no way those people can escape from the deserted mad-house located somewhere far in the vast snow fields). Given their perverse attitude towards the sex-infused, drug-filled routine, they aren't able to reveal all their true feelings when placed in front of a grave tragedy - shortage of food, and then the death of one of their friends. Beautifully shot and enhanced by some poetic visuals, First Winter comes as an intriguing, worrisome look at the behavior of young people during a crisis. Strangely, it's also an interesting encounter with - what could be called - some kind of a bizarre sect, where everything is a big mystification organized by the guru of the whole group. Look for yourselves, as Benjamin Dickinson created an inviting film that might tire some because of too many unneeded longueurs, and satisfy others due to its fascinating camera work. |
