SkyRo P "Edge of Winter" is a film featuring Tom Holland as a young boy navigating the complexities of his parents' divorce. The story unfolds as he ventures into the woods with his father, only to discover that his dad has a dangerous side, becoming increasingly unhinged in the snowy wilderness. For viewers who have experienced similar family dynamics, the film resonates on an emotional level, tapping into deep-rooted feelings associated with divorce and familial strife. However, despite its emotional weight, the movie falls short in the action and suspense departments. As a thriller, it seems to divert from the excitement typically expected in the genre, opting instead for extensive dialogue that often overshadows the underlying tension presented by the father's unstable behavior. While I appreciate the effort to develop the characters throughout the narrative, I felt that the film leaned too heavily on conversations rather than maintaining a sense of peril. For me, a thriller should evoke a sense of urgency without requiring the audience to dissect every small detail of the plot. Tom Holland delivers a commendable performance, showcasing his talent in a role that predates his iconic portrayal of Spider-Man. While he brings authenticity to his character, I found it difficult to connect with the father figure. Rather than conveying true menace, he seemed more like an erratic individual whose threats felt manageable. His aggression appeared targeted more towards others than his own children, leaving me questioning the depth of his danger. Although he might exert control through intimidation, it didn't translate into the level of violence I anticipated from a character in a thriller.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review kevin c Joel Kinnaman plays a father estranged from his two sons due to a divorce who during a weekend with his kids tries to bond with them by taking them shooting in the wilderness. Their car gets stuck in the snow and things go from bad to worse as he begins to act irrationally. Tom Holland and Percy Hynes White play his two sons. Fantastic performances from the main three as the tension builds as the story progresses. Great movie.
