Review of Snow Cake (2006) by Andrew O — 06 Jan 2008
While sort of trying to be Oscar bait, it can be a little cheesy and overwrought with sentimentality at times.
Still, it won me over pretty quickly, while most might say Weaver is the one to watch with her "Forrest Gump/I Am Sam" performance, it's Rickman that is the standout here - it actually borders on brilliant.
Sveral individual scenes work extremely well; in particular comic book Scrabble.
Also, the title rocks.
