Our take
A site of fond remembrance or the scene of a grievous crime: Two women lock horns over the fate of a frozen lake in this piercing thriller. A dogged Emma Thompson dazzles as a good Samaritan with hidden depths, whose love for her late husband finds fresh—and final—expression in care for a stranger.
