The Family Stone. 5/10. Couldn't be saved by some decent performances (namely Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, Luke Wilson). Not particularly enjoyable in any way, drags on and on without working towards a climax. Tries to be clever and funny but fails. Sarah Jessica Parker was annoying.
Winter Passing. 7/10. Interesting and charming yet very timid and cautious film. Excellent acting by Ed Harris and Zooey Deschanel, but Will Ferrell is miscast as a quirky loner handyman and former Christian Rock bassist. The film has some funny and touching moments, but in the end is way too long for its own good - had it been a short it would've probably been better, as the plot contains simply too little flesh for a feature length film.
