"...[Law and Thompson] give touchingly true performances..."

Sight and Sound - 01/01/1998

"...Ravishing, resonant images.....What is most striking about Rickman's debut is his control of mood, delicately teasing out the metaphorical possibilities of freezing and ice..."

"...The actresses share looks and even body language..."

Entertainment Weekly - 07/17/1998

"...A poetic, affecting film....[Law and] Thompson transcend..." -- Rating: B+

New York Times - 12/23/1997

"...[The film] luxuriously drinks in a magnificent desolation that conjures up somber thoughts of mortality and human loss..."

Chicago Sun-Times - 01/16/1998

"...Phyllida Law and Emma Thompson are mother and daughter in real life, and in the film they have the familiarity of a lifelong couple....[Rickman] has a great command here of look and tone..."

Product Description:

A dense, filling slice-of-life set in a tiny snowbound Scottish burg, where four pairs of characters grapple with various aspects of human hardship. Thompson plays opposite Law, her actual mother, as a recently widowed photographer whose haze of grief has driven a wedge into their relationship. Rickman's directorial debut, adapted from the stage play by Sharman MacDonald.
