Reviews for Snow Angels
So when the film's moment of horror arrives, it's not with suspense but instead the sort of dully anticipatory inevitability that drains as much energy from the story as from the audience.

Top CriticImpressive for the mood it creates, the film may not totally satisfy, but the characters are richly depicted and reflect the snowy winter chill that surrounds them

Hopefully, one of these days, Green will be bold enough to make a movie where nothing happens, where conversation is both his means and his end.

David Gordon Green is a very unique filmmaker.

Green is a director who takes his time with characters, allowing their different sides to self-illustrate in naturalistic settings as he simultaneously paints their worlds.

Powerful performances all around, but too many tangled and twisted family trees. Scorecard, please.

Rockwell, who brought a sense of desperate unease to his roles in 'The Assassination of Jesse James' and 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' does the same here, with results that are at once frightening and pathetically sad.

Every so often, a movie comes along that knocks the wind out of you. Snow Angels is one of them.

...the film's positive attributes were for me not quite enough to make up for the movie's unrelentingly grim tone.

It feels sort of like a poor man's version of American Beauty, stripped of all the good parts and devoted only to a low-budget wallowing in misery that will leave you shell-shocked and depressed on your way out of the theater.

It's a hard movie to sit through at times, but if you're a fan of the actors, especially Rockwell, I believe you will find it a rewarding experience.

Could they have made more of a slow, dull and boring film?

'We love you no matter what your job is,' a character tells her son. That's a love that this very humanistic if dark film asks us to extend to everybody, even those whose sins invite outrage and disgust.

Might be (David Gordon) Green's best film.
05/02/08
For all its noble intentions and universal truths, Snow Angels is not a great movie. It's not a grand movie. It's barely a very good movie.
05/01/08
There's a certain beauty in the bleakness, in the stark, snowy landscapes, and in the characters whose lives are just as barren.
04/26/08
There is brutality in Snow Angels, but little bitterness. Like sunlight on ice, its painful beauty glints and stabs the eyes.
04/25/08
Good meditation on class, but too grim for casual moviegoers and not poetic enough for art-housers
