Hannah Strong Little White Lies 1d
A Long Winter rests on the shoulders of Hechinger and he’s remarkable in a performance that demands a whisper rather than a shout, capturing the softness and optimism that make the character so easy to fall in love with. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire 1d
B-
Guileless but never without a burning if tentative sense of his own strength, Hechinger’s splendid performance keeps A Long Winter aglow during the frequent stretches when it threatens to freeze over. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 1d
5/5
It is a poignant, subversive study of grief and desire, and the terrible, infantilised loneliness of men without women; it is fiercely acted, and wonderfully shot by cinematographer André Turpin. Go to Full Review Gregory Ellwood The Playlist 1d
C
The best performance in the entire movie is Balfe's, and "Winter" only truly comes alive when she's on screen. She's so good you wish the movie focused on Louise's life story instead of Mike. Unfortunately, she's only around for a good 30 minutes or so. Go to Full Review J. Don Birnam Next Best Picture 1d
7/10
"A Long Winter’s" images linger long after the credits, even when its emotional revelations do not, making it a worthwhile but perhaps the most forgettable entry in Haigh’s body of work. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
