Movie Reviews of Snow Cake
Movie Review: Great movie- Alan Rickman is perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie merely on the premisis that Alan Rickman is in it. I do like Sigourney Weaver, too, and even if there was an actor/actress in it that I didn't care for, I still would have bought it just for Alan Rickman.
Well, I'm glad I did. The movie was excellent. I don't even know what to categorize it as; it was so different. Alan Rickman was truly amazing in it, I don't know why he wasn't nominated for anything for it. His character was such a good guy, had a big heart, and of course he was handsome as ever.
I don't want to spoil the plot at all, but if you are an Alan Rickman fan, I highly suggest this movie!
Movie Review: Slow, steady, engaging...
Summary: 5 Stars
Alex is recently released from prison and runs into a young teenage hitchhiker (Vivienne) looking for a lift. Unexpected events lead him to the home of Vivienne's mom, who is autistic. Here the story builds on the histories and lives of the characters in the movie. The story is appropriately set in a small desolate town in western Canadian in early winter. If you are looking for an action thriller with guns and guts - this movie isn't for you. This movie penetrates deeply and slowly into the lives of the main characters - including lessons in love, loneliness, revenge, forgiveness, compassion and living each moment to its fullest.Movie Review: Snowcake
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I ordered this movie through Netflicks (since it never came to a theatre near us), and were so impressed with it we purchased a copy for our own video library and to share with friends. It is a poignant (often funny), beautifully written, intelligent, compassionate work exploring the courage it takes for ordinary--as well as uniquely challenged--humans to get through life with their basic goodness and decency intact. The acting is superb, the story believable; you want to know these people. A wonderful, uplifting drama for intelligent grownups; why do movies like this not get the wide distribution they deserve?Movie Review: Touching, truthful, funny and feel-good - all in one film
Summary: 5 Stars
'Snow Cake' is an incredibly touching film. Despite the early character death, it is a lovely and feel-good film that made me cry and laugh. It speaks truly for autism / high functioning autistic people and Sigourney Weaver does a tremendous portrayal of a HFA person. She is very believable which is hard to find in films these days. Alan Rickman is also in his element and this is perhaps one of his best films yet. Definitely a film I'm glad to own because I want to watch it over and over again. Buy it for yourself, a friend, or both--- I doubt you'll be disappointed.Movie Review: Sigourney Weaver brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent example of writing, direction and performance combining to create moving stories, vivid characters and ideas to think about. Every character is memorable and true to him or herself. It is unfortunate that so many of the very best films do not come to the attention of awards panels and voters. Rickman and Weaver are always good. I think Weaver deserved an Oscar nomination for her performance. I believe you will remember almost all of the characters with affection or at least understanding. It is just an excellent story brilliantly told.
