Winter Passing

Winter Passing (2006) is an American dramedy written and directed by Adam Rapp, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Zooey Deschanel stars as Reese, a New York actress who walked out of her family years ago.

A book editor dangles real money in front of Reese for the love letters her father — a reclusive, Pulitzer-winning novelist — once wrote to her late mother. Chasing the deal back to Michigan, she finds two strays already living in his house: a former grad student and a wannabe rocker (Will Ferrell, oddly tender in a rare dramatic turn). Ed Harris plays the boozing writer as a man you pity and want to shake in the same breath. It isn't really about the letters; it's about a grown daughter relearning how to stand next to her dad. A quiet indie about a family that drifted apart long ago. Stream Winter Passing (2006) online on iFILM.
