5/5 Magnetic
  by Rebecca Rigdon (San Diego, CA USA)
This story draws you in as if you were looking out your living room window. Alan Rickman protects his vulnerability, yet shares his heart so fully with his ever present elligence. Sigourney Weaver captures your heart and imagination, allowing the audience to enter into her world where only she resides. A beautiful and touching story without becoming overly sentimental. There's an underlying humor to bring you back to reality.

4/5 Fiction is Stranger Than Fact
  by Richard C. Idoux (APO, AE United States)
This film portrays what can go wrong in people's lives even when they are certain that they have not done anything wrong. Many viewers will have experienced some, if not all, of the feelings portrayed so aptly on the screen by the gifted crew. It is a sobering thought that such mishaps can have an innocent begining.

4/5 Snow -- better than sex!
  by sft (UK)
Snow Cake is a moving tale of tragedy, loss, guilt, and grief. It is also a hugely life-affirming celebration of difference. Sigourney Weaver's portrayal of an autistic single mother is by turns mesmerising and hilarious. As to its authenticity - well I'm not qualified to judge but it has apparently been endorsed by many people who are. Alan Rickman is as effective as ever as the guilt-stricken pilgrim who enters her life by way of a tragic accident and is transformed as a result of knowing her. And the snowy Canadian early spring thaw provides a marvelously sparse and chilly analogue to this odd couple's brief but cathartic encounter.

On the down side, this is a somewhat manipulative movie, and is arguably a little predictable, but these faults are easily outweighed by the film's genuine warmth.

5/5 Oscar-worthy - in all respects!
  by B. Spier (Moscow, Russia)
This is a fabulous movie with fantastic actors - Sigourney Weaver alone should have received an Oscar for her role as an autistic women. Sad only that movies like this never seem to make it to the big screen - not enough action, sex or violence for the majority of viewers apparently ...

5/5 Snow Cake

I love this movie! Alan and Sigourney play off of each other so well. Sigourney Weaver should have won some award and there is a sexy Alan scene too.
