As quietly dazzling as a small, very precious stone.
Sternfeld has created a garden on film that opens up its blooms for us, not in the dark of the movie house, but long after we've left the theater.
Very little actually happens in the movie. There are no cathartic breakdowns or soul-changing epiphanies. Instead, we're offered a collection of small moments that feel so familiar, they remind us how false most films really are.
Sternfeld not only deals empathically with his cast, he seems to know that his screenplay is not very novel or stirring; nonetheless, he wants to present these human beings in their skins, so to speak.
Ultimately undercut by its fictional elements and its flat characters.
Neither a change of seasons nor truly wonderful performances can breathe life into the dismally enervated Winter Solstice.
The result is a numbing void, and a long, frustrating wait for something to happen.
