It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I took the suggestion of a friend and watched The Old Winter. To me, it looked like a period piece that seemed interesting. The overall look of the entire film is artistic and sweeping. It's like stepping back in time and interacting with who you would find there and the things that would be around them. The music picked for the film supported the scenes represented on-screen.. The acting was top-notch and brilliant. There were characters I adored and despised. I lived the story with Alphie Lamb, empathized with Laura Lamb, worked with Henry Lamb, walked alongside Asa Bodine, felt Harold Pruitt's struggle, and wanted to maim Jack Pruitt for his actions. I felt the people selected to play the roles were perfect!I've seen this movie twice now and can honestly say that I missed many things the first time around. On the second viewing, I picked up more story than the first. There is a certain richness to the story that can't be grasped in one sitting.I would have loved to have known more about the characters; the things they loved and hated, why they interacted with others the way they did, the past that shaped them, etc. It would have added an extra layer of personal connection that was missing from the film.

I went to the premier of The Old Winter. It was a 2 hour block of great cinematography. The sound track really brought a diversity. The story line left one in the midst of every emotion on the spectrum. As I watched the film it was easy to see the time period and to understand the human condition. As I watched I was entranced. It was a comparison of picking up a book that you couldn't put down. John Coulter is obviously a perfectionist director, writer, and film maker. I am thoroughly impressed with the production. Kudos and well done. The scenes were shot on location and is a time period piece. I enjoyed the steam mechanized farm machinery. This film is destine for some great press and awards.
