Films at the Library - Midwinter Break (12A)- Princetown Library

Based on the novel by Bernard MacLaverty, who co-wrote the screenplay. An empty-nester couple who relocated to Glasgow from Northern Ireland following a traumatic episode during the Troubles take a trip to Amsterdam. Their marriage is seemingly affectionate and comfortable, but Gerry has a not-so-secret drink problem and Stella is unhappy that he does not share her deep Catholic faith. She has a secret agenda for the visit which she has not divulged to him.

“Thoughtful, intimate, and anchored by exceptional performances, it’s a modest and deeply satisfying film that lingers long after it ends.” moviereview 
“Fiercely sad, spiky and wonderfully acted.” The Guardian
