Have You Heard of Me

The January Man plays like a quiet, character-driven film about endurance, restraint, and the weight of beginnings. Set against gray skies and long winter shadows, the story follows a man who moves through the world with discipline and emotional control, shaped by loss, responsibility, and the belief that survival requires structure. He isn’t loud or flashy; his power comes from patience, from showing up when others fade, from carrying burdens without applause. As the film unfolds, small moments—missed calls, silent rooms, early mornings—reveal the cost of always being the steady one. By the final act, The January Man becomes less about coldness and more about resilience, suggesting that strength isn’t found in warmth alone, but in the ability to endure the season until change arrives.Kevin Kline as Lt.
