5/5
A great movie; a great lesson!
by Sherry F. (Leonia, NJ USA)
I teach a high-functioning, multiply-handicapped inclusion class. We were working on the theme of bullying and I showed several movies with examples of this theme. "Snow in August" has wonderful examples of bullying and possible consequences. Both students and staff were captivated, fully involved -- booing the "bad guys" and cheering the "good guys." I highly recommend this movie for its characters, its story, its history, and, of course, its lessons.
5/5
Thoroughly enjoyable!
by Judith A. Carlson (Chicago, IL United States)
This movie teaches a lot about how hateful prejudice and stereotypes can be (in this case, antisemitism). It is a movie about how a little boy learns that what he thought was so was completely wrong. It shows how a friendship can blossom between two people of diverse cultures who are also very far apart in age...and how they can learn from each other to the mutual benefit of not only both of them, but for an entire neighborhood. Furthermore, it is as close to the original book as I have ever seen. This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie (AND book!).
4/5
Snow in August
by Sandra Marmar (Woodstock VT, USA)
After reading the book this film is quite relevant. Of course in a movie things have to be compressed. It was an excellant movie for a low budget movie. If you lived in the 40's and 50's it took you right back. If you live today you are aware that things just don't change much. If you are poor there is no way the police can help or protect you. The only escape is through knowledge, fantasy, belief, and cunning.
See the movie then read the book!

Snow in August, DVD
by T. Sullivan (Boston, MA)
I enjoyed the DVD, it helped me understand the book better.
3/5
Not bad for a low budget movie
by Wendy Schroeder (Englewood, Co United States)
An 11 year old boy witness a older Jewish store owner getting beat up badly by a hoodlum. He refuses to snitch but the hoodlum thinks he may have (or will). The boy, Micheal, is an intelligent Irish Catholic who wants to do the right thing but isn't sure what it is. His loyalty to street rules clouds his judgment but he grows up that summer, partly due to his new friendship with a rabbi.
It's a low budget movie but it's a very good one. Great acting and a good script. I cried toward the end. It's the kind of movie you want your kids to watch and I think they would actually enjoy it.
Snow in August Summary
Eleven-year-old Michael Devlin is on an astonishing adventure into a magical world where he will learn about the power of belief to right wrongs and build unlikely friendships. Based on the best-selling novel by Pete Hamill.
