Review of Snow Angels (2007) by Chris H — 09 Feb 2009

David Gordon Green manages to flawlessly juxtapose the idealism and hope of youth with the failures and disappointment that often comes later. It seems only fitting that after appearing in one of the most two dimensional and moronic roles ever written for a teen as Juno's best friend Olivia Thirlby completely redeems herself by playing half of one of the most realistic high school couples I've ever seen on screen.

This is a film that will yank your heart in every direction and leave you speechless once the credits roll.
