Review of Wintertide

Wintertide (2023)
4/10
Low budget allegorical approach - not all bad
4 April 2023
So going into this movie and knowing that it's a Canadian festival film rather than a large budget project you'll probably know or at least have an idea of what to expect. This film is basically an allegory for things like the pandemic, depression, over-medicating and over medicated society, etc.

There isn't much horror but there are some quirky instances of humour that have me a good chuckle and some nice sex scenes with tasteful nudity. The plot, while a bit thin does what it needs to and the story while a tad drawn out is coherent and interesting enough to maintain interest. The acting is actually quite good given the films budget and while a couple scenes felt wooden, it all got the job done.

In terms of film as a whole I'd rate a 4/10 In terms of a festival film, it's a strong 8/10.
