It&#8217;s true that Heard&#8217;s boring, whiny protagonist isn&#8217;t exactly likable (he edges dangerously close to stalker tendencies), while Hurt&#8217;s chronic indecisiveness about her romantic life eventually becomes simply tiresome. Then again, these characters &#8212; effectively played by Heard and Hurt &#8212; are both eminently realistic: who <em>hasn&#8217;t<\/em> known people struggling with similar concerns, if to a less extreme degree? <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-1024x550.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-1024x550.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-128x69.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-768x413.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-1536x825.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple-502x270.png 502w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Couple.png 1725w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, it&#8217;s exactly such fidelity to real-life relationship woes that likely endears audiences to both the film and the book, which collectively possess a small cult following. <\/p>\n<p>In his review, Peary argues that while Heard and Hurt &#8220;may be real characters&#8221;, he &#8220;never believe[s] their responses to each other&#8221; &#8212; a complaint which seems to speak to the screenplay&#8217;s literary origins. While I don&#8217;t personally have any trouble believing in Heard and Hurt&#8217;s interactions, other elements of the screenplay &#8212; such as Heard&#8217;s repeated dealings with a frustrated blind vendor &#8212; come across as overly scripted. It&#8217;s also frustrating to see so little made of some of the most interesting supporting characters &#8212; i.e., Gloria Grahame as Heard&#8217;s loony mom (film fanatics will be thrilled to recognize her, and disappointed by how little screentime she&#8217;s given): <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-1024x547.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"342\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-1024x547.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-128x68.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-1536x820.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame-505x270.png 505w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Chilly-Scenes-Grahame.png 1743w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>and Hurt&#8217;s put-upon husband &#8220;Ox&#8221;
