BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leofwine_draca COLD COMFORT is an odd-little three-handed character drama. The story begins with a trio of characters holing up in a deserted diner during a snow storm. There's a slick travelling salesman, an obese oddball, and the oddball's flirty teenage daughter. What follows attempts to be a psychological thriller but it really doesn't thrill for the most part and feels quite pedestrian in execution. The chilly Canadian climes are well suited for the story's backdrop but, Maury Chaykin aside, the actors feel a bit lacklustre and restrained, and the incest elements of the plot are more embarrassing than anything else. The twist ending tries hard to be shocking but had me laughing instead.

vickimtubridy i really loved this film it kept my attention all the way through which believe me is hard unless a film is good.Paul Gross is a fine actor. All the parts were played by the perfect people. Enjoy if you buy it i did. Must admit it was the hardest DVD to track down but i eventually found it. Like a lot of Paul gross stuff in order for me to be able to see them i have to buy them on DVD. The only thing i've seen on TV is due south. I don't mind it just means i get to watch them more often. which make me happy. He is a very kind man and looked after me well and was fabulous to my sister so i have a lot of respect for him. i've dealt with a lot of people and no one has been more kind he not only my favorite actor and singer he has shown me why.

Scott Carnegie First of all, this film is set in Alberta near Medicine Hat, not Manitoba or Alaska.I first saw this film in 1990, before "Misery", before "Due South", and I thought it was great. The suspense builds in a natural way as you see Steven get deeper and deeper into trouble and come to realize the kind of person Floyd is.Great drama, excellent acting. The scene where Steven freaks out on Floyd is some of the most believable anger I've ever seen in a flick.

LordDwia What can i say... this movie is done very well. The acting is superb, the characters are eerily believable, and the situation is thought provoking and imaginative. This movie goes places we don't like to think about. It does a better job of portraying despair and isolation than any movie i've ever seen.It will leave you feeling cold, but Hopeful.Incredible!
