There are parts of 'A Long Winter' that verge on glacial, but strong performances and a truly moving final beat pull it all together. Go to Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) Sep 14, 2026
Where a lot of actors work hard to project strength or cool, Hechinger carries himself with an open-faced half-smile that evokes gentle vulnerability (and that oddly reminded me of the young Gene Wilder at times). Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Sep 12, 2026
On its surface, the film is a critique of patriarchy, but it’s a testament to Haigh and his cast that potentially obvious themes are instead explored with rich nuance. Go to Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report 6 days ago
3.5/5
A gorgeously photographed, intelligent exploration of loneliness, masculinity, and the invisible boundaries people construct around themselves. Go to Full Review Andrew Auger Pop Culture Leftovers 6 days ago
A Long Winter has to strain quite a bit more than All of Us Strangers did to achieve its goals. This gorgeously shot period drama has Andrew Haigh’s fingerprints all over it, but it’s choppier and more distant, sometimes overcompensating.

It’s disappointing to see [Haigh], master of subtlety and delicacy, falter under an overwhelm of convention. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
