Last June I walked into the Neptune Theater in Seattle with the knowledge that the film I was about to see was called "Snow Cake" and that it starred Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. Everything else that followed was a surprise, and a wonderful one at that. It was easily one of the best films I saw in 2006 and now it is finally getting a proper U.S. release. Of course Seattle has to be last, but at least there's a date for it. Here is part of the review I wrote for it upon seeing it:

It manages to walk the tight rope between comedy and heartbreak. I don't want to get too into detail because so much of what makes this movie great is how full of surprises it is. Writer Angela Pell and director Marc Evans are clearly well versed in the universal dramedy playbook. They know all the standard cliches and avoid ALL of them. What could have been a saccharine and manipulative story in the wrong hands, is a film of enormous joy and effecting sadness, often at the very same time. Evans gets the most out of the wintery landscape and his actors. Rickman, Weaver, and Carrie-Anne Moss have never been better. Pell is also an outstanding screenwriter and I can't wait to see what she does next. Anyone who can write the line, "It's a bereavement cookie," knows what she's doing.
I really can't say enough about this film. The rumor is that it's going to be released in the fall or winter in the U.S. However since there is no U.S. distributor as yet, the rumor is just that. I am very optimistic about this film's chances at getting released. Much more than Craig and Justin are. And when it does (yes, DOES) get released I will be first in line to see it again. However, don't expect it to be a wide release so go seek it out. You will be glad you did. 10/10

Well it turns out I was right to be optimistic. Do not miss this one.
