Fantastic movie. Never would have heard of it if it weren't in the NYT list.

This is tragically underrated. Newman is perfect in it, the plot and pacing and tone are flawless.

Has the feel of a Springsteen song.

1994 was a memorable year for movies, but I had forgotten all about this quiet gem. The good news is that it's aged, not perfectly, but well. I don't know what it is about movies that take place in snowed-in small towns, but they always lure me right in.
