Poor Thora, if what Wiki says is true about the filming of this film it sounds as if her father needs to get the hell out of her life. I used to be so attracted to her but now i just feel sorry.
@lonemilkman thats how you feel but with porn star parents im sure she was far from embarrassed....think about it they probably raised her and was completely open about sex and easy to talk to
if you want to search for the actress, thora birch, who plays barbara hoffman, you can find information on her. if you are searching for the real barbara hoffman, there will only be news articles about the mysterious murder
@millennialgirl I attempted to and the only thing I came up with is she has been up for parole sine 1991 but refuses to speak to the board and declines interviews. It really makes you wonder about her mindset.
@mistyaaa yeah I found that same info too. She is now out of prison, engaged and has either an infant or small child. She has changed her name and lives outside the U.S, I think Canada. I really wish we could get an interview. I think she is just a borderline personality. The obsession w/ the case stemmed from her academic background and alleged beauty. They don't even have decent photos of her. We forget that personality disorders can affect anyone, even attractive people.
@millennialgirl Thank you for the information. It was truly an interesting case but I couldn't get into the movie. I felt like I needed more at the end. I didn't really get to see her as the character but perhaps that was intentional.
@mistyaaa i totally agree, i actually fell asleep each time I watched it. The lack of background really kills the movie. The best part was seeing thora, but she couldnt save the movie. They should have made the movie loosely based on the case the way producers did the movie To Die For w/ nicole kidman
Confusing and not the most entertaining movie, But I still seemed to like it. I loved the atmosphere of the movie and very well acting. And may I say Thora Birch is amazingly gorgeous.
I saw the movie on Lifetime (before reading the book, which I just finished). It was a bit disappointing, though I agree with everyone that Thora Birch did a great job. I will concede that what I saw was an edited version, and so I'll have to see the DVD when it comes out.
I also wish it was filmed in Madison, though snow was slow in coming until the end of February. I understand it was budgetary concerns that kept the film in Schenectedy, close to NYC.
The film is a major disappointment. The scenes jump around to much that makes it difficult to follow the actual time line of events. Most disappointing is the lack of any court scenes in the movie. These make up the 2nd half of the book. Thora Birch does a decent job as Barbara Hoffman, but that is about it. Not filming it in Madison was a major mistake. The filmmakers really blew it. Read the book if you can find a copy. It's a great read written by a fanstastic local writer, Karl Harter.
i love that movie thora birch is so kewl

@montereytrailers Just go to Thora's Wiki page and scroll down to her filmography. Then click on the 'Winter of Frozen Dreams' link.

Should have been filmed in Madison,WI... as it's the actual town... not to boot it's much prettier then Schenectady, NY.

Looks like an interesting movie. Wish they'd left out the use of tobacco, though. Smoking always begins down any film.
