Was the press impressed?
Reviewers are ravishing over the visual aspects of the film. This is how Michelle Gross describes it:
"The Winter is a visual masterpiece! So entrenched in the visual aspect of the film, I viewed it 2 more times to capture all of what the film has to offer. There’s so much to experience. The Winter’s richly layered aesthetics are met with a simplicity in storytelling."
