Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver form the quintessential indie-film odd couple in this intimately observed drama that makes a memorable detour from the usual high-concept, special effects-laden studio fare. Rickman is in his element as Alex, a morose, laconic ex-con just released from prison. A tragic twist of fate brings him to a Canadian small town and the doorstep of Linda, a functional autistic woman with a decidedly anti-social personality. Weaver is a wonder in a fiercely committed, vanity-free performance. "I don't like normal people," Linda states, and neither does Snow Cake, the heart of which is clearly with the outcasts and misfits, including Vivienne (Emily Hampshire), Linda's vivacious, hitchhiking daughter, who bums a ride with Alex because he looks lonely ("Lonely people have the best stories," she observes) and Linda's neighbor, Maggie (Carrie-Ann Moss), a nurturing type who is very quick to take damaged soul Alex into her bed. This is a palpably heartfelt project (screenwriter Angela Pell has an autistic daughter) that--the unfortunate title notwithstanding--mostly manages to avoid the cloying or manipulative. The smiling faces pictured on the DVD cover suggest an upbeat romantic comedy, but Snow Cake is a slice of something much more filling. --Donald Liebenson

Guess I'm the odd person out on this one because Sigourney Weaver is the only one I didn't care for. In all fairness, she's not a favorite of mine to begin with. I liked a lot about this movie, however. The northern setting was artistic, moody. I thought the story on the whole was very interesting and refreshing when compared to most films which have fast action, lots of noise and dramatic music, but weak on script. I am suspicious of Weaver's character because I don't know whether we were presented ... Read More

Odd couple flick with an autistic woman and a man who never smiles, indeed, is the most morose man in the world. Great script, great soundtrack. I didn't believe the love interest between the man and the neighbor, but whatever. The ending is a bit dragged out, and the funeral is a tear-jerker, of course.

A wonderful movie. Weaver and Rickman are great together. I laughed and cried at the same time! Not your typical "touchy,feel good" movie. or "inspirational," but just plain GREAT. Weaver just gets better and better (and more beautiful). If you're looking for an "out of the ordinary" movie, this is it!!

This is a beautiful film in every sense. Alan Rickman, who I adore not only as a fine actor, but as a gorgeous Brit, gives his usual superb performance. And Signourney Weaver is simply astounding. The entire cast, including the actresss playing Vivian who I look forward to seeing in bigger parts, is exceptional. Beautifully filmed, directed, edited, and acted -- take the time to watch this one.

Alan Rickman is one of the best and most subtle actors out there. He perfects every performance, no matter the movie. Snow Cake is no exception. The film itself is on the slow side, and truly, not much happens. But it works because of the magnificent performances. Sigourney Weaver is truly great in the role of a high functioning autistic woman and Carrie-Anne Moss gives a small but interesting performance as the woman that attracts Alan's attention. The scenes between them made me forget exactly how ... Read More
