THE WINTER GUEST

Year Released: 1997 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 108 minutes Click to Expand Credits: Starring Emma Thompson, Phyllida Law, Gary Hollywood, and Arlene Cockburn. Directed by Alan Rickman and Seamus McGarvey. Produced by Steve Clark-Hall, Ken Lipper and Edward R. Pressman.

The English guy from the first “Die Hard” movie directs Emma Thompson and her real/reel mother, Phyllida Law, in a film about a bunch of Scots too stupid to come in from the cold (uh, I mean expressing the need for human connection.) The acting’s brilliant, but my girlfriend identified with the movie a little too much, got depressed, we started snapping at each other, and she walked home without me. F–k you, mister “Sheriff of Nottingham”! How about a little more action next time? How about any action? Yippy-yo-ki-yay, Mudder F–k!
