Audience Reviews for A Cooler Climate

Judy bitches the hell out of Sally, she gives it right back. A wonderful opportunity to see two great actresses bring out the best in each other in a story of how two people who seem to have little in common can be each other's salvation.

A very good pairing of strong actress such as Sally Field and Judy Davis make: A Cooler Climate such a good movie. Fields plays a divorced housewive whom moves into a cold wealhier woman's (Davis) home. They have to deal with very opposite personalities and play off one another very well.
