“Engaging romantic comedy…Strong naturalistic performances and an unforced script keep the ogre of wackiness at bay.”
– Time Out London
“Retaining the mournful tone of [Ann] Beattie’s excellent novel, Silver delivers a…deeply affecting film blessed with outstanding understated performances.”
– TV Guide
In writer-director Joan Micklin Silver’s endearing adaptation of Ann Beattie’s celebrated novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter (1979), Charles (John Heard), a bored office worker, falls in love with Laura (Mary Beth Hurt) when she is separated from her husband, Ox (Mark Metcalf); when she returns to the appropriately named fellow, Charles makes it his life’s work to get her back, aided, abetted, and occasionally hindered by a sensational cast of eccentric friends and relatives, played by the likes of Peter Riegert, Kenneth McMillan, Nora Heflin, and the great Gloria Grahame.
