“Here, his lead character isn’t dimensionalized by Haigh’s reserve so much as he’s at risk of being diminished by it.”
““Folks always find a way to cope,” Louise says.”
“Ironically, that only clicks into focus when Lester hires a handsome indigenous boy named Jimmy (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai) to be the woman of the house.”
“Haigh is reluctant — practically allergic to — prodding his characters towards personal growth, and Mike’s determination to assert himself so outpaces the filmmaker’s willingness to let him do so that at a certain point it feels like “A Long Winter” is more of an impediment to his self-becoming than it is a vehicle for it.”
“All rights reserved.”
“Bean catalogue’s worth of flannel, and things get even frostier when he goes inside the house for supper.”
“Powered by WordPress.com VIP Telluride ‘A Long Winter’ Review: Andrew Haigh Goes Cold with an Immaculately Crafted Coming-of-Age Story Too Restrained for Its Own Good Fred Hechinger and Eben Moss-Bachrach are terrific in a queer period drama about a young man trying to escape his father's shadow in 1950s Colorado.”
“He’ll probably die there, but we don’t get the sense that anyone is doing much living back at home.”
“With Tommy in Korea and Louise vanished into thin air, Mike finds himself in direct confrontation with the questions that he’s managed to avoid for so long.”
“On the other hand, the film is, in some respects, well-served by eschewing the tropes of a typical coming-of-age-queerly tale.”

“His pa Lester (a wounded Ebon Moss-Bachrach, showcasing a multi-faceted depth that his previous screen roles only allowed him to hint at) presides over the dinner table with a silencing chill, while his ma Louise (Caitríona Balfe), a defiantly cosmopolitan beauty who disappears into every glass she can find, prepares the food like a hostage who’s given up on more permanent hopes for escape.”

“‘A Long Winter’ Guileless but never without a burning if tentative sense of his own strength, Hechinger’s splendid performance keeps “A Long Winter” aglow during the frequent stretches when it threatens to freeze over.”
“The snows deepen, the power goes down for the entire season, and — as supplies dwindle in tandem with Lester’s patience — Mike begins to realize that he’s been stuck in survival mode for as long as he can remember.”
