[A]voids descending into the overtly sentimental by not romanticizing a harsh land...

An old school adventure whose simple themes resonate with a refreshing honesty.

Através das belíssimas atuações de Pepper e da estreante Piugattuk, a narrativa desenvolve-se com calma até atingir um clímax emocional inesperado, mas eficiente.

The Snow Walker is not Atanarjuat, but it captures the actual scenic beauty of the North and with it, the poetic truth of brotherhood in an unforgiving land.

As predicable as the annual fall of the Maple Leafs, but considerably more tragic, as traditional as the recurring scam of political patronage, but a lot more compelling, The Snow Walker is a vintage slice of Canadiana.

Top Critic ...given the skill with which this spare story has been filmed, it's hard not to be entertained on some level.

Smith's respect and love for the wilderness is clear in every frame, and allows the viewer to become fully immersed in the characters' predicaments.

Constant interruptions prevent the story from building to a satisfying emotional pitch, leaving the film, like the characters, to trudge circuitously across that vast frozen tundra.

Top Critic Numbingly simplistic adaptation of Farley Mowat's short story, 'Walk Well My Brother.'
