Synopsis

Finely calibrated performances from Oscar nominees Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds anchor this adaptation of Irish author Bernard MacLaverty’s novel of the same name, which follows retirees Stella and Gerry on a trip to Amsterdam at a crunch point in their marriage.

Their city break has the potential to become something much more life-changing as the pair reflect on the past, their problems in the present, and consider their future together. Established theatre director Polly Findlay makes an impressive directorial debut with this carefully weighted drama that muses on the enduring power of love.

Screening at Luna and Luna on SX.

Reviews

Midwinter Break stars two seasoned actors who are not even close to the winter of their careers. Both bring grace and gravitas.
Globe & Mail
[A] quietly magnificent film.
Punch Drunk Critics
World-class acting by Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds.
The Film Yap
There are no better actors than Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds to reveal the unspoken depths of such characters.
The Hollywood Reporter
Arichly emotional midwinter film for audiences starved for restrained, mature storytelling.
