A Tale of Winter

Thoroughly enjoyable, just shy of perfection. (top 1000 list quality, effortlessly binge-worthy)

I watched this on the basis of Roger Ebert's four star review. I _hated_ this movie with a passion. My first complaint is that it felt like I was watching the movie in real time. Here are the main characters walking through the park. Now they're on the bus. No real story per se.... just look at them walking through life. Don't get me wrong - I love a slow-burning character study. This film neither burned nor had interesting characters. It just felt so amateurish. My second complaint is the resolution. We had to sit through a couple hours of her slogging through life and then we get a weird scene on a bus. Its as if the characters hadn't seen each other in a week or two - "hey, funny running into you here". I thought for a minute that they might save some of the movie when she had a decision to make. Nope, the credits were rolling a minute later (with the backdrop of kids awkwardly playing while trying not to look at the camera). Just awful. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com (so you don't watch bad ones like this) or facebook page IHateBadMovies
