Review of Snow Cake (2006) by Ellen B — 10 Sep 2010
Such a well told story it plays so subtle and close to reality that most would over look it. Weaver takes on a major challenge in portraying and highly functioning Autistic person and Aces it. You are given allot of exposition about Weaver?s and Rickman?s character but really not enough to attain closure.
As the movie progress you get more and more tidbits. Rickman Expat-Brit who has just been released from prison for killing a man, plays a very low key Englishman visiting Canada for the first time. He meet Weavers eccentric daughter roadside restaurant and after much coercion convinces him to give her a ride.
Several hours later Richman begin to open-up and stop off for a bite to eat. Exiting the restaurant There car is slammed into by a Semi. Rickman lives but makes it a point to seek out her parents. I?ve always wondered if Alan Richman and Vinnie Jones have the same agent because they both get great roles and where they both carve out a great niche.
