Review of Winter in the Blood (2014) by Justin G — 22 Apr 2014
Excellent movie about a man who can't get his life unstuck. And a good looking movie with lush cinematography, spot-on period sets and dressing, good support from the soundtrack, and a bevy of fine character actors (plus some good new talent).
Uncertainty about what is real and what is not enhances a spiritual/psychological journey informed by native American mysticism without leaning on it as a crutch. While they are very different movies, I was reminded a bit of the spirit journey in Jim Jarmusch's DEAD MAN.
Plus, it's always a pleasure to see Gary Farmer in a movie - especially in a good substantial role like this.
