The Winter Lake

It pulled me in from the start. Well written, filmed and acted.

This is a slow drama, with a very particular style to it. Some will like it and some will fall straight to sleep. I finished it, but can't say I would watch it again. You really sort of have to understand the mentality of the lifestyle where it takes place. A couple of creepy moments.

Movie all along is pretty well with a great enigma. Characters do a great job acting and keep us into suspense all along the movie.

There a couple times where there could be a deeper dive into the main subject and cause.

Near the end of the movie where it all unravels we get the picture of what could have happennwd bit nothing too clear and finally it leaves us with a bitter taste.

Please dont expect much of it. Watch movie only if you have no other option over an evening's time.

The end really wastes it all with no clarification of what really happened. Only the writer knows really. But kept it a secret.

Beautifully filmed, well acted and directed. It's slow and it's a little bleak or somber but there is beauty in rainy days, in winter, and in this type of movie.

Why are so many modern films shot in the dark with such poor sound? You need a decent sound system to equalise the the sound so you can hear speech and and drop the music (especially the bass). The concept is good but delivery, as others have stated, is slow. Why did Tom have to be "emotionally disturbed" why did his mum have to look more like his sister. I managed to stay with it only because I had hoped for a good ending, it was predictable.
