Manohla Dargis of The  New  York  Times wrote, "With no grand speeches or oversized gestures, Mr. Katz
(SXSW)
creates a specific world that gracefully enlarges with universal meaning."[5] Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun
Times wrote, "Cold Weather is good in so many subtle ways, I despair of doing them justice. It's a thriller February 4, 2011
involving the personalities of its characters, who we get to know surprisingly well. It remains low-key even (United States)
during its final big chase scene, which only involves one car. The acting is so good, you may not notice it.
Although the characters stumble over the plot at least 40 minutes into the film, it's as ingenious as a high-

someone, in the future, should execute a bit less lackadaisically."[8]
