Early reviews are delivering exactly what I feared about a WINTERS TALE movie. The Hollywood Reporter: Mark Helprins nearly 800-page 1983 novel has a substantial literary reputation, but whats been hatched by Akiva Goldsman, a veteran screenwriter making his directorial debut, would make you think that the original story here was cooked up by Nicholas Sparks. Variety: ...it’s the sort of film that insists on taking you by the hand and steering you through a dark labyrinth for two hours, instructing you to watch your step every five minutes, only to switch on the lights and reveal you’ve been in a circular room with an exit in plain sight. More Letterboxd reactions: ...an incredibly unnecessary, saccharine and downright awful adaptation... ...If EVERY sentence of EVERY plot description in EVERY single review of Winters Tale doesnt end with the words I SH-- YOU NOT, film criticism has failed. Nonsensical, overblown, and downright ridiculous from start to finish. The lone star is for the most unintentionally hilarious cameo in the history of film.
