Often with the feel of a stage play, Snow Cake is a delicate little drama that shows real understanding of its characters.
08/26/08
a worthy effort toward bringing an increasingly prevalent disorder to filmgoers' attention
09/10/07
Snow Cake never entertains too much pathos nor does it become overly concerned with making Weaver’s character even slightly sympathetic; her uncensored forthrightness is as refreshingly humane as it is hilarious.
08/23/07
A heartfelt but utterly predictable indie drama.

Everyone and everything is surprising in this arresting film whose heart is as warm as its setting is cold
07/28/07
in the end, it's as viable as its titular confection: pretty to look at but cold.
07/14/07
It's essentially a vehicle for a dedicated cast, but occasionally it's more than that.
07/06/07
Three very intelligent actors -- Rickman, Moss and Sigourney Weaver -- elevate what could have been cloying into something better than the script's idiosyncratic bent.
07/05/07
Director Marc Evans, working from Angela Pell's screenplay, pulls it off in a limited way but with emotional sensitivity and a solid cast.

At times it seems so anxious to blatantly manipulate us into tears and slows down with Alex’s romance with a sexy neighbor a la Carrie Anne Moss, and then at times it’s beautiful, and intimate, and so wonderfully acted.
06/05/07
Weaver makes Linda her own, alternating between off-putting brashness, engaging honesty and bursts of spontaneous, childlike behavior.
06/01/07
Top CriticWeaver and Rickman and screenwriter Angela Pell elevate the film into something quite endearing.
06/01/07
Lack of dramatic intensity is all the more surprising considering the emotional clout of helmer Marc Evans' two best movies, the chilling Resurrection Man and scarefest My Little Eye.
06/01/07
Top CriticMarc Evans' small-scale drama focuses on the offbeat relationship between a chronically depressed man and an autistic woman, and with a lesser cast it would be insufferable.
06/01/07
Overly forced, a shade too whimsical, but filling a void other words and other movies haven't the nerve or errant taste to confront.
