5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Film!, 10 Dec 2007
Chaykin's disturbing portrayal of a controlling father with an inappropriate relationship with his daughter (Langrick), is well complimented by Langrick's portrayal of an overly innocent girl far removed from "normal" society. This dark tale slowly unfolds with increasing discomfort as Stephen (Gross), given by father to daughter as a birthday present, tries to leave their clutches with increasing desperation as he begins to realise he is not so much a guest, but more of a possession... Gross acts his part extremely well, disintegrating from a confident, perhaps slightly arrogant, young salesman, to a man desperate to escape.

The sound and picture quality of this film is not great, and the at times overpowering sound track sometimes makes it difficult to decipher what the characters say. However there is plenty of imagery and intelligent script writing for the more discerning viewer, but also a good watch just at face value. I definately recommend this film!

3.0 out of 5 stars if you like psycho thrillers, buy it on DVD, 1 April 2009
By Jean (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
Considering this movie was released in 1989, "Cold Comfort" holds up pretty well. I'd give it 3 stars out of 5. Very strange psychological thriller, briefly involves a bear trap. I saw this movie described as "Fargo" like. I think it's more a cross between "Fargo" and "Deliverance", but then again, it did get nominated for 5 Genie Awards (Canadian Oscars) in 1990 and actually won in the category of Best Adapted Screenplay. I would suggest only buying this on DVD, because I've seen it on VHS too and the picture quality was not nearly as good. That's why I searched on Amazon.co.UK for the DVD, and I received fast delivery to Pittsburgh, USA. If you're a Paul Gross or Maury Chaykin fan, you'll like it.
