Show, Don’t Tell
One of the challenges Winter Passing faces is getting the audience to empathize with characters enough to ride the film’s emotional ups-and-downs. Director Adam Rapp took a risk by placing so many of the events which define each character outside of the story, instead conveying these details through conversations between characters (i.e. “Who’s pills are these?” or “Who is Corbit and why does he live here?”).The potential reward of this “Tell-Don’t-Show” approach is that the director can add dimension to the characters by providing a greater quantity of personal history and details. The risk, however, is that the audience won’t invest enough emotionally in the characters to really care about what happens to them.
The acting was quite good; I’m always glad to see Will Ferrell push beyond his slapstick beginnings, and he and Zooey Deschanel have very believable chemistry. But by relying so heavily on dialogue and description, the film subverts the medium, and made it hard for me to identify with any of the four main characters.
Animal abuse is not necessary
This movie was pretty slow but after the scene where she drowns the kitten, I had to turn it pff. It was an unnecessary scene.
