It's Jo's (Greta Bellamacina) bachelorette party at her future
husband's manor, and with most of the girls attending (Tamsin Egerton,
Josette Simon, Jessica Plummer, Bebe Cave) it's just stupid games, fun and
drinks - but with Scarlet (Amber Anderson), her best friend from dance
class, it's different. Scarlet knows Jo better than anyone, and even if
their friendship had their ups and downs, she really cares about Jo - but
there's something else, back in the day Scarlet was closet lesbian and had
developed a crush on Jo, and Jo was very receptive to her advances, but
since in school they were one year apart from one another, they quickly
lost touch once Jo moved on to dance academy, and many things were left
unsaid back when - and now that Jo, her lover of late, marries a man, the
situation becomes extra awkward ... Tell That to the Winter
Sea is not a film of big words or exaggerated feelings, it hides much
of its story and especially subtext in fleeting remarks, small gestures
and (at first) seemingly random scenes, has a certain slice of life
quality to it. And that totally works for the movie as it gives it this
certain slowburn feel that makes the emotional center of the movie
gradually palpable rather than losing the audience by delivering things
the sledgehammer way. And that Greta Bellamacina and Amber Anderson
deliver utterly believable performance and develop just the right energy
surely also helps making this movie a rather touching love story.
