Ciarán Hinds and Lesley Manville are at the top of their acting game in Midwinter Break... Unfortunately, they can't save this slow-moving dissolution-of-a-marriage drama that plays like a travelogue for Amsterdam and an ad for religious devotion. Go to Full Review Lindsey Bahr Associated Press 22m
3/4
A delicate film that stays in a minor key, but whose impact is profound if you can get on its level. Go to Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter 2d
There are no better actors than Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds to reveal the unspoken depths of such characters... But even these two can’t quite bring Midwinter Break to life, intelligent and thoughtful though its concept is. Go to Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com 2h

Manville, Hinds capture beauty and pain of a marriage headed for disaster. Go to Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) 1d
5.5/10
Midwinter Break is a great example of why some books should just remain books. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 1d
