It started off promising. The lead role is mostly played well and everything seemed set for a good movie. The feel and the production value was good. However, as the film progressed, it began to fall flat. Despite a good effort from the lead character, the character is not well written. I am not complaining about initial ambiguity, but at the overall way the lead character as well as all the other characters are scripted poorly. None of the characters have any depth and the whole story became 2 dimensional and irritating well into the film. But since my wife and I had invested good part of an hour by then, we continued watching anyway. This turned out to be an error on our part.

The problem is two fold. The viewer is not allowed to connect with either children even though there is every reason to. The viewer is also left hanging at the end of the movie with a very unsatisfactory outcome. I would not recommend it for that reason.

4/10. Two brothers are with their unpredictable father for the weekend and find themselves stranded in the snow.

I did find at time that the tension was enough to keep you intrigued, but it kind of never explained itself and what it was trying to accomplish.

It had all the makings of a good film but just wasn't, main actor Joel Kinnaman was fairly convincing in his role and the two boys did s great job. The whole thing just fell flat with very sloppy story telling that was basically non existent.

#edgeofwinter

This film tells the story of two sons who go on a winter fishing holiday with their biological father that they hardly know. As their holiday progresses, the two sons are in increasing danger from the elements and from the people they are with.

Despite having an eventful story, I struggle to find the story engaging. It is nice to see a very young Tom Holland, but there is little else to captivate me. Events that normally induce thrill and fear do not induce such emotions in this film. Maybe the story telling needs a little more working on.

Joel Kinnaman is a decent enough actor, so I don't blame him for this shambles. I do blame the writer and director, and as they are one and the same then that man is wholly responsible for one of the very worst films I have ever seen.

It's immature, idiotic, senseless, meaningless drivel. Clearly written by somebody not of this world. The characters are so lightweight and ill-formed that they cannot be human, nor can they be the product of a human.

One and a half hours of my life has been stolen from me, time I can never get back. I'm just left wondering who finances these pathetic projects and why? Maybe it looked good on paper - it looked promising to me when I read the blurb - but even good ideas need careful crafting and there is no craft on display here.

Infuriating and pointless.

No idea why people are harshing on this movie. Yes, the plot is simple, but that's because it's not a horror flick or action flick - - it's a psychological family drama thriller. As in, tense.

There's beautiful scenery, minimal music, and other than a few scenes (not going to spoil that), most of what happens is fairly straightforward. Joel Kinnaman, looking a bit haggard, (the delicious co-star of The Killing) delivers top-notch acting, as do both of the boys. Their relationship and interaction is believable, and thankfully, there isn't any annoying precociousness or preciousness in the kid's characters.

I'm not sure what people were expecting from the movie, but after reading some of the reviews/comments, I watched it anyway, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're looking for something with a lot of violence or gore, or some feel-good story with a dramatic ending, this isn't the film for you. If you are looking for a somewhat bleak story line with great acting, then check it out.

Seemed a lot longer then it was, not a bad drama, the acting was excellent, especially, from the young lead. But it was long drawn out. I would recommend if you like slow build up, for me it it would have been a good short story. Not a total waste of my viewing There are far better thrillers out there to watch.

I picked this one to watch because I like a lot of snow and snowbound adventures/misadventures; while not being wildly original and despite that gorgeous Lefevre being shown too little, it does feature Kinnaman's acting chops in quite a genuine portrayal. Having seen him in other stuff here and there, I was impressed. The story could be run on Lifetime's night lineup, but it's not reducible to that – the series of worsening events snowball inexorably without steering too hard toward this or that direction, holding on to a steady thread of realism. It's something to check out for a late chill-out, especially if curious about Kinnaman's role and work.

I felt like today was the perfect day to watch this movie.It's COLD & windy outside & the weatherman is calling for 1-3 inches of snow.It's a shame the movie wasn't as good as the timing was.Edge Of Winter wasn't anything special.It felt more like a way to waste time when nothing else good is on.After 20+ minutes in, the movie just dragged from there.With about 30 minutes left I wanted to turn it off but I didn't because I already came this far & with not a lot of time left, I might as well stick around & find out how everybody was going to make it out of the situation they were in.After the movie was over, I felt like if I would've turned it off when I wanted to, I wouldn't have missed anything at all.The best thing about Edge Of Winter was the winter scenery & that's the best thing I can say about it.If you have the chance to watch Edge Of Winter but end up missing it, don't worry, you didn't miss a thing

This film is actually a tragedy. A parent who is on the verge of losing his two sons goes off the deep end. This is not too much of a stretch from reality. I can easily relate to a divorced father who is having trouble keeping his relationship going with his children; so can a few million other men. The fragility of life is extremely apparent in this film. Just one harsh random event can change lives forever. If the car doesn't crash, the rest does not happen. But it does crash. And the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

very poor effort. no story. senseless plot. there are so many problems that its useless even discussing anything.In fact any time spent discussing this movie is time wasted. Please save your time and just watch anything else. I fell asleep during the film and that was the best part for me during the film. I can't believe that this was released and no one tried to stop this film from being made. Shame on all the people involved. Anyways, f it. its over now. And to post this review i have to write at least ten lines about the film so i am just going to continue writing this film so that i can warn people not to watch it.

Usually I go by the review from IMDb ...

This one I totally disagree with... It holds you on the Edge/ as the title reads. It is about an abusive situation and very realistically done. Most of know someone like this guy or have known ... He continues to make stupid decisions and the kids are trying to respect him as their parent until their sense of survival kicks in. This is a don't miss movie!!!

This edgy thriller feels small in scale but it still packs a punch. Those who have grown up with a parent prone to losing their temper may find it a little triggering. To be a snowy outdoor survival type of movie, there isn't much physical ground covered. It jumps around a bit from one location to the next making the story feel a little choppy. What you can mostly expect to see here is a deadbeat dad at the end of his rope on the way to reaching his breaking point. This movie makes us feel uncomfortable right along with these two kids as they both respect and fear this unstable man they are stranded in the woods with. While the suspense was enough to keep my attention, I can't say the movie captivated me.

The setup of the story for the fathers downward spiral was reasonably done and one many part time fathers will identify with. Time was taken to show the relationship between the father and sons which means the climax feels a little rushed. Acting performances are good but some parts of the plot line are baffling. Like when the cabin is burned down so they can escape. Surely a stealthy escape would have given them more time? No movie is perfect and after seeing the reviews I wasn't expecting too much but despite the faults this was time well spent and a nice change from the blockbuster movie norm.

This is just a child endangerment PSA if I've ever seen one. The dad is a terrible man and the film starts to brink on family horror and psychological thriller toward the middle when the plot really starts to hit its turning point.

Wow, this movie really caught me by surprise. I remember watching the preview and thinking "whatever". I couldn't really tell what it was about but I saw that Joel Kinnaman was in it so I had to at least see. My first experience with this guy was on "The Killing." Didn't like him or his character at first, but by the end of the series I got it. I remember rooting for him to make it big and then saw him on Robocop and some other big movies. I hope Hollywood doesn't ruin him. I'd like to see more of his "flawed hero" in the future. Could just be me, but I think I could see him doubting himself in certain scenes at the beginning of the movie that wasn't just the character. He needs more roles like these I think to get his chops around. Really, I think he has the potential to turn out some interesting characters given the chance. Now about the movie. Like I said, the beginning of the movie, I thought, came across a bit stiff. Maybe the dialogue, I don't know, people in real life act and say things all the time that I don't really understand why they'd say or do it that way. All the same it was okay. Then about half way through the movie I had to stand up and say, "Holy S--t!" From then on it was a nightmare for everyone involved. This movie took turns I did not see coming and I thought it was pretty realistic. Once it all fell apart I could see the insanity of the situation and it was scary. I've always been interested in how a parent can come to the conclusion to kill their own children. That doesn't happen here but the colors are there. I don't know if this movie is for everyone, probably not. I sure liked it though. I liked it a lot.

In my opinion, tho, this movie was great if not so so. I mean, at least this movie should have got 6 or 6 point more total review
