Description
In this solemn family film about three men sharing a broken household, Jim (Anthony LaPaglia) stars as a father just trying to keep it all together. His sons Pete and Gabe (Mark Webber and Aaron Stanford) resent him, unable to escape the memory of their late mother. Change comes in the form of a sunny housesitter (Allison Janney) who romances Jim, making it okay for Gabe to set out on his own and for Pete to rely on his dad as he struggles with some deep-seated rebellion issues.
This film screened in New York City's Tribeca Film Festival in 2004.
"Winter Solstice" is a quiet, low key little drama that plays more like a documentary then an actual film. Not much style or flash is used here, but it is not really needed with a movie like this.... Read the whole review at MatchFlick
