In the taut wilderness thriller Edge of Winter, Joel Kinnaman plays an unemployed, single dad with seething personal issues and more than a bit of a mean streak. It's another complex character in an increasingly long line of layered performances by...

Opening: WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD, Recurring Dreams And Shaky Memories
