Edge of Winter

Strong performances, but I don't like the turn to what they did with the father character.

I enjoyed it because the cast was so believable. The raw emotions from the father and his sons was stellar.

Nothing in the plot made sense, especially a mother who would let her sons go off with a father who is such a drunken, violent loser.

"Edge of Winter" is a film featuring Tom Holland as a young boy navigating the complexities of his parents' divorce. The story unfolds as he ventures into the woods with his father, only to discover that his dad has a dangerous side, becoming increasingly unhinged in the snowy wilderness. For viewers who have experienced similar family dynamics, the film resonates on an emotional level, tapping into deep-rooted feelings associated with divorce and familial strife. However, despite its emotional weight, the movie falls short in the action and suspense departments. As a thriller, it seems to divert from the excitement typically expected in the genre, opting instead for extensive dialogue that often overshadows the underlying tension presented by the father's unstable behavior. While I appreciate the effort to develop the characters throughout the narrative, I felt that the film leaned too heavily on conversations rather than maintaining a sense of peril. For me, a thriller should evoke a sense of urgency without requiring the audience to dissect every small detail of the plot. Tom Holland delivers a commendable performance, showcasing his talent in a role that predates his iconic portrayal of Spider-Man. While he brings authenticity to his character, I found it difficult to connect with the father figure. Rather than conveying true menace, he seemed more like an erratic individual whose threats felt manageable. His aggression appeared targeted more towards others than his own children, leaving me questioning the depth of his danger. Although he might exert control through intimidation, it didn't translate into the level of violence I anticipated from a character in a thriller.

Entertaining!! Good acting.

Clearly not a big budget movie but good character development and fine performances. Ending seemed a little clunky and the suspense could have been maintained for longer

Acting was good, but it was SLOW, the plot was bad and the ending was worse. Hard Pass

I thought it was good- I just wish there was a better ending

Much better then unexpected. Awesome ending!

How pleased I was to watch this movie its really good so thrilled and tom Holland was amazing it's a day 99% certified fresh
