Movie Reviews

The New Republic - 9/10 by Stanley KauffmannThe Winter Guest is a pleasure to watch, if only (but not only) for the chance to see Thompson. She is a continually revealing artist.
WBAI Web Radio - 9/10 by Prairie MillerMoving as flawlessly and gracefully across the movie screen as the snow on its mute, chilly Scottish landscape, the film inspires amazement and awe as the work of novice director, Alan Rickman.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Bob SatuloffActed with depth and acuity by its ensemble cast.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA warm and winning film about the blessings of human connections.
User Review - 10/10 by Li-Ying LBeautiful movie about a season. Alan Rickman did a good job and definitely great music selection - loved the soundtrack. Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, can you really go that wrong?
User Review - 10/10 by Jessica MBEAUTIFUL. Thompson is brilliant as always, and the rest of the cast is up to the challenge of taking a nearly 2-hour movie set in bleak winter Scotland an making it sing.
User Review - 10/10 by Holly HI love the moment when Phyllida Law looks in the mirror and wonders who in the world she could possibly be looking at. It's a beautiful film.
User Review - 10/10 by Lilac LThis film is a pleasure. Each frame is flawless; you can pause the movie at any point and receive a stunning artistic photo. The scenery is beautiful and the colors are just perfect. I enjoyed Emma Thompson and Phyllida Law so much and I must admit that by the end of the film I was sobbing. Alan Rickman should direct more of theseâ?¦ an exquisite film!
User Review - 10/10 by Lesley DThis movie is an absolute and exquisite piece of art. Flawless.
User Review - 10/10 by Emma dWeird movie, difficult to describe. Very slow and contemplative, this mother / daughter movie is really beautiful, sensible and touchful. I wish I will one day found a french version of this movie to watch it with my mum...
