   Jan 16, 1998 · “The Winter Guest” follows four sets of characters through a day in a Scottish village, and its purpose is not to draw a lesson or tell a story, but to evoke a mood. To see this film is to spend a day in a village near St. Andrews, and with a shock I realized I had once lingered for an afternoon in this village, or one much like it–in ...

On a day so cold that the sea has frozen over, a woman with a fierce face, mink coat, and sensible shoes marches purposefully across the icy Scottish landscape on mission of life and death. Nearby, the object of that mission, her recently widowed daughter, Frances, sleeps fitfully, little realizing the adventures ...

   Is the Winter Guest a good movie?

   • The Winter Guest is a pleasure to watch, if only (but not only) for the chance to see Thompson. She is a continually revealing artist. [Rickman] has great command here of look and tone, and I felt I knew what it would be like to wander the streets of that village in Scotland. But the film left me feeling strangely hollow.

   What is the purpose of the Winter Guest?

   • Winter in Scotland is as muted as a wake. The country's so far north, the sun is slow to rise and early to set, and a day can be blindingly bright or always seem like twilight. “The Winter Guest” follows four sets of characters through a day in a Scottish village, and its purpose is not to draw a lesson or tell a story, but to evoke a mood.

   What does the winter guest look like?

   • They scour the death notices and compare notes on funerals past; they are old enough and ordinary enough that no one ever questions them when they attend a funeral; they look like the relatives you are sure you have forgotten. “The Winter Guest,” based on a play by Sharman Macdonald, follows these four couples and listens to them.
