"The Winter Guest" is a beautifully filmed nothing of a story. As though on a carousel, the camera revolves around four pairs of people in an icy rural coastal place in Scotland, providing glimpses into their lives as it passes by in near real time. The absence of a story begs the question, why would one watch this film when they could be watching more interesting events simply by looking at their own lives? The answer is probably "art for art's sake".
