Actress Reese Holden has been offered a small fortune by a book editor if she can secure for publication the love letters that her father, a reclusive novelist, wrote to her mother, who has since passed away. Returning to Michigan, Reese finds that an ex-grad student and a would-be musician have moved in with her father, who cares more about his new friends than he does about his own health and well-being.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It's a disturbing movie, particularly the first half, and one not easily digested.
– Mario Tarradell,
Dallas Morning News,
9 Mar 2006
fresh:
This is the kind of movie routinely dismissed as too slow and quiet by those who don't know it is more exciting to listen than to hear.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
9 Mar 2006
rotten:
There are intriguing actors and ideas here, but only occasionally do they combine with convincing force.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
10 Mar 2006
fresh:
This flawed drama about a self-destructive young actress and her reclusive novelist father has its rewards, mainly in some good performances.
– Walter V. Addiego,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
Midway through, Rapp loses momentum, failing to hone in on just what kind of movie he wants to make, and Winter Passing languishes in that no-man's land between tiny, meandering, indie drama and plotted, pointed family melodrama.
