REVIEW: “Midwinter Break” (2026)

“Midwinter Break” initially appears to be a simple story about a relationship, and on some level, it is. However, the film quickly reveals deeper layers of meaning. We follow Stella (Manville) and Gerry (Hinds) on vacation in Amsterdam and gradually discover the complex themes the movie explores. The director carefully unpacks these themes through the couple’s outwardly pleasant connection, as well as the personal difficulties they’ve both hidden for a long time.
