Winter Solstice
Time Out says
Hats off to first-time filmmakers who bypass nth-generation Reservoir
Dogs knockoffs or twee love stories about unattainable dream girls, and
instead make low-key dramas rooted in ordinary people's lives. Unfortunately,
NYU film-school graduate Josh Sternfeld's morose tale about a suburban
landscaper (LaPaglia) and his sons is mired in the painfully mundane travails of
not-very-interesting people. The trouble isn't that nothing much happens—the
right details can make any story enthralling—but that Sternfeld's script,
developed at the Sundance screenwriters' lab, is spare to the point of
stinginess.
