The Winter Lake

A well-made thriller: suspenseful and original plot, solid acting, incredible cinematography, fitting music. A first for the director? I can't wait to see what's next. Not sure what the audience had for supper before watching this film… should have taken Pepto Bismol. There's a good reason critics gave it a 80% fresh rating.

Agree with the critics, it's a so-so film. Emma Mackey stands out as a self-centered, controlling, evil BI taking advantage of Anson Boon's naivety to the max to cover up her crime. Overall, easy to see the ending about 2/3 of the time through. However, it doesn't end as one might expect, but the so-so acting and boring story line leads one to say "who cares". Suggest skipping this one.

Thriller che non manca di coraggio nel proporre idee particolari e soprattutto nel creare dei personaggi tutt'altro che prevedibili e cinematografici. Il protagonista e sua mamma sono sicuramente originali e offrono la visione di una famiglia mai vista al cinema; seppure troppi aspetti delle loro personalità restano inesplorati per dare invece troppo spazio a dialoghi e scene di riempimento piuttosto futili. Quasi la totalità delle sequenze di azione sono artificiose e mal riuscite. Peccato non aver sfruttato maggiormente il paesaggio ed il clima.

The story, plot is okay but should be developed better. The Holly character played a good role but the Tom character was pretty bad acting, very little dialogue. Maybe I'm out of touch, do kids really treat their parents this bad, so much disrespect! That part is sad to see, even portrayed as acting.

Believe they could do best. And also was so dark, needed more light . only hear voices and had to imagine what was on.

While it was a slow building drama. I thought I'd was beautifully filmed. Some may say it was a predictable ending but that's the comfort in a common thriller. Acting was brilliant. Truly enjoyable film.

I thought it was a good film just not my favourite ya know. but regardless watch it for Emma Mackey because she is a queen and she is so iconic so that is my review

Very dull movie, was bored. Turned it off after 25 minutes. 😴😴
