The Winter Guest

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Interesting and enjoyable drama about a woman, her teenage son, and her mother as they try to cope with the death of the woman’s husband after a long, drawn-out disease. Starring Emma Thompson and her real life mother. Wonderful work by all the supporting actors and actresses, including a pair of older, funeral groupie women, a pair of young boys cutting school, and a young woman with the crush on the son. Beautifully filmed in Scotland by Alan Rickman, it becomes excessively sincere at times, but is quite nice if a tad longish
