Snow Cake : how many of you…

would rate this a 9 or higher?


it has everything: great writing, acting, direction, even the soundtrack is awesome. its never slow or boring, you just want the movie to keep going and show more of these peoples lives.



"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I'ds rate it as a big old 10/10truly one of my favourite films ever and in my opinion one of the best performances I have ever seen from Weaver.

I will never get bored of watching this film!

Cheers

haha yes the 1st time i saw this it worked its way into my top 10 and its been steadly climbing with every viewing

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I would. I loved it from the moment I read it's name and cast and I love it now.
Don't know anything about authism, but S. Weaver seemed convising to me, not like she was "acting". And interseting thing with A in Angela.

"it has everything: great writing, acting, direction, even the soundtrack is awesome. its never slow or boring, you just want the movie to keep going and show more of these peoples lives."

Exactly! That was the thing on my mind when I saw the movie becoming to its end. I would've wanted to observe their lives just a little bit more It's not like the ending was not complete, it was, perfectamundo! They kind of left it there, so the audience could decide theirselves. I like those kind of movies. I would give it 10 out of 10. Totally. One of my favourite movies for sure.

And I'm not even mentioning Sigourney. I mean how can she possibly get better and better in each movie she's in? She just pulled the role off succesfully. It was like I could feel the things she felt, especially with the 'sparklies', she expressed the feelings as she truly felt them herself. It was funny to see her playing a very serious role, but still there was this note; she can be laughed at. In a good way. The movie is so lovable cos it has no ego, neither has Sigourney.

Alan Rickman is the other thing to make this movie even better. The two of those, great actors, should be working more together. They showed that Galaxy Quest can be a movie not to be taken too seriously, but still not as one star garbage movie.

They've both succesfully kept their roles great during all these years. Not even the age slows them down. I have a huge respect for them both.

Sorry for my English, I just had to let it out.

9/10

10/10. it shows autism in a beter light than most films would and the music=love! besides excellent cast.

He served a dark and a vengeful God! Official Bleeder

I actually only gave this movie an 8 but that's still really good, of course if I happen to see it again it could move up of course it could also move down. It was great but maybe mainly because I wasn't expecting anything really good. I loved the location and the chemistry of the actors but I wouldn't call this movie buy worth just yet so therefore it doesn't make it to 9 or 10 stars but still a big recommedation to everyone I know.

I'd rate it a 10/10 for sure.

It seems to have everything that a movie thats rated that high should have, including the fact that people can watch it over and over without getting bored.

It seems to have everything that a movie thats rated that high should have, including the fact that people can watch it over and over without getting bored.

Yes, that is so true. I watched it like four times last week, first I was afraid that I'd spoil the whole thing by watching it again and again. But this is not that kind of movie.

My little sister and I were watching this the other day (w/o the subtitles), she's really impatient and not that good at understanding English, so she got tired of the relationship progress between Alex and Maggie. She kept saying "skip this!" and I desperately tried to make her understand that it was a part of the movie, and not that annoying at all. The acquiantances in this movie are important in my opinion, but she's only 13 so I guess you can't expect her to get it.

Haha, I'm english and I watch movies with English subtitles. Makes things go smoother that way.

I think it all depends on the person weather or not they will be interested in a film like this. I'm only 15, and I can watch this and be completly into it. But then again, maybe when I was 13 I would have rathered a bix office hit that I knew about over something something a bit more obscure that made you think and trying to get the meaning a bit more than the norm.

And so, the lion fell in love with the lambwhat a stupid lamb

Yes, that's true. I'm 16 myself so I maybe it's not my business to rank my sister by her age :) But as a teenager a couple of years matters sometimes.

I'm not saying that this isn't the kind of movie for younger people to watch; maybe the storyline of Maggie and Alex is a thing not to understand for them, but then again there are just so wonderful performances of extraordinary actors that even a child can feel like liking this movie.

And it's just that you can't even blink in case of missing something amazingly clever, hilarious and well-acted.

You have a good point, a couple years can make the difference between really getting something out of it, and just really liking it for its amazing acting.

I absolutly agree about not being able to blink. Even something as simple as someone asking me a question made me miss an important piece of dialogue, and I had to rewinde.

i had my father watch it he's 71 and he hated it. said it was all just talk and there was no point to the film. i got so mad i made him sit thru it again.some times its fun to torment the elderly ;)

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I'm still wondering weather it would be fair to make my boyfriend watch it, it doesn't seem like his type of movie.

And so, the lion fell in love with the lambwhat a stupid lamb

i had my boyfriend watch it, he like it alot, not one of his favorites but he said he apreciated why i love it. hes way into indy films though.

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

My boyfriend isn't at all. I actually don't think he likes watching movies much, he's more of an outdoor person, and I'm more of a music and movie person.
Right after I wrote that though, I made him come watch it with me. He wasn't too interested in it.

My best guy friend loves indie movies though, he's the one that got me to watch this the first time. We have indie movie fests sometimes when we have some time where we aren't doing a band practise (he's in a band with me aswell)

Its always good to have a couple friends who are up for watching a good film

And so, the lion fell in love with the lambwhat a stupid lamb

yup i know the feeling my drama troup comes to my apartment all the time to watch movieswe also have like a trade system going on. i give one of my recent favorites they do the same.

i have another group of friends, however, who wont see anything but step up, norbit etc

its safe to say i dont go to the theatre with them. :)

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I wish I had those kind of friend groups too! My best friend is into way different movies than I am, I like indie movies and everything without that much Hollywood or horror in it, but she likes to watch those horrifying movies like Grudge and Friday the 13th And the one with the chainsaw.. I'm not much into teenage horror myself :) But she's not all that bad. We went to see Juno together and she at least pretended to like it :)

I recommended Snow Cake to my mother, she hasn't watched it yet I guess (well she hasn't talked about it and I don't know if she's watched it and whether it's a good thing or not) But I guess she'd like it cos she hates horror and screams everytime a bumblebee dies..And she would watch a movie 3 hours long if it had no violence in it and it was about a deep thought subject, heh. But my dad would kinda throw it into a rubbish bin. Even though I could try to mention something about Sigourney Weaver

I hate people who promise to watch a film that I'm very very into, and who can see that it's obviously important for me to have them watch it, but as the movie begins after a while they pay almost no attention..

yah its just horrible when you know your favorite part is coming up and you glance over to see their reaction and all you get is a glazed over look or figeting

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

Mmmm, I've been there.
Or, they start talking and you have to be like "No! You can't miss this part!"

I'm like you guys, I'm not so much into the Hollywood films ever since I've got turned onto the Indie ones. Although, I can't say I don't enjoy a good romance or horror movie every once in a while.

Its always good to have someone who can appreciat a good movie, and then a group how can go have fun at the theater aswell.

And so, the lion fell in love with the lambwhat a stupid lamb

Yes, of course. I did enjoy The Shining but it is a classic. I guess that my mother has influenced me with her rather sissy kind of movie taste. I would never even touch a movie like Saw or Silent Hill cos they just horrify me too much..:S

But then again everything with Sigourney is just right for me, heh.. I guess I'm going to have to put up with the Hollywood stuff :)

I've seen The Shining. Most King movies are pretty good.

I really like horror movies, and have seen Saw. But really, its all just pointless gore. A good suspenseful movie that makes you think is better in my opionion.

And so, the lion fell in love with the lambwhat a stupid lamb

2 of the movies on my top ten are horror movies. one would be classified as a "make you think" and the other a "pointless gore". Silecne of the Lambs is and will always be my #1 and grindhouse is my #9. so yah i love gore. but i also love a great human drama. something that gives you back a piece of your humanity. i think its because A: im human , and B: i love the theatre, theatre is all about affecting the audiance. if it doesn't affect me i dont like it or remember it

"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I have to admit actually enjoying some of the horror movies I've seen, cannot name any, but there have been couple worth of watching. I prefer the makes you think sort of films, like mentally scary ones. The one with Michelle Pfeiffer, what was it called? I liked it.

But the most I love non horror movies that make you think, like White Oleander or Mystic River. But also those human dramas like Love, actually with Alan Rickman ( !!) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Goldfish Memory are great to have in your dvd shelf..

i dont think theres anything wrong with horror movies, i have a problem with not wanting to watch other kinds of movies, branching out. and i have a huge
*beep* prblem with "films" like hottie and the nottie. absolute bs.


"and you will walk among the giants" -Men of Boys Town

I can assure you that "The Shining" is far more horrifying than "Saw" or "Silent Hill" could ever be. It's simply the best horror movie ever made.

I enjoyed "Snow Cake" very much by the way. 8/10

I'm sorry that your father has reached such an advanced age without discovering his humanity. Still - where there's life, there's hope.

Blowin' the changes!

10/10

There isn't one thing I didn't love about this film. Just fantastic..

I gave it 10/10 as well.
It was just a beautiful movie.

I rate it an 8.

It has great balance, brilliant performances, & sticks to its script (i.e. doesn't wander from its premise).

I guess I could've laughed & cried more to have a more impactful viewing. It's still a great movie.

Absolutely! Everything that exalts the art of film making is in this gem. And - no guns, car chases, fistfights, torture etc. A work of great humanity. Thank you to all concerned.

Blowin the changes!
