Part of situation: Production and release of Andrew Haigh film ‘A Long Winter’ (2 clusters)

Andrew Haigh’s ‘A Long Winter’ premieres at Telluride Film Festival

A Long Winter Andrew Haigh Telluride Film Festival Colm Tóibín coming-of-age drama

Andrew Haigh’s new film, ‘A Long Winter’, premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. The drama is an adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s 2006 novella, which has been relocated from the Spanish Pyrenees to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

Set in the early 1950s, the story follows a family living in a remote mountain cabin. The plot centers on Mike (Fred Hechinger), a young man navigating queer identity and family dynamics, and his brother Tommy (Kit Connor), who is preparing for military service. The narrative also explores the disappearance of their mother, Louise (Caitríona Balfe), during a harsh winter.

Critics have described the film as a restrained and poignant study of grief, desire, and survival. While some reviewers noted its slow-burn and highly repressed tone, others praised the performances and the immersive, often foreboding, use of the mountain landscape.
