Review of Winter of Frozen Dreams (2009) by Kieran K — 02 May 2009
Based loosely on the life and murder cases of Barbara Hoffman, this movie however failed to capture the supposed bizarre and sensational twists of events leading up to the murders.
I tried to watch this movie not once but three times. I fell asleep on two occasions and only the third time did I force myself to keep awake.
The film for some reason keep me very removed from the characters, from the dialogue to the set, to the look of the film. It was too cold and and too distant, which all became kind of nothing in the end. In the end, that was how I felt watching the movie: totally disconnected.
If you looked at the real Barbara Hoffman, there's something quite disturbing about her silent and removed disposition. Birch's performance, while it was commendable, seemed to be more bored and disinterested.
