'A Long Winter' Review: Fred Hechinger and Ebon Moss Bachrach Shine as Family Thrust Into Uneasy Isolation in Andrew Haigh’s Fine Grained Drama The stillness of winter can be a heavy blanket, suffocating even those who seek it out.
The Colorado mountains are a majestic yet unforgiving backdrop for Andrew Haigh's drama A Long Winter. This film transports the viewer to a remote cabin where isolation hangs like a specter.
On one level, A Long Winter is a coming of age story about Mike (Fred Hechinger) and his family as they struggle with grief, depression, and identity. But it's also a nuanced exploration of relationships in adversity.
