Snow Cake

... that this movie has not been as well received and viewed as it should have been. Even most of the awards shows, didn't give any kudos! And after you'll watch the movie, you will be wondering why. I saw it at the International Film Fest (in Berlin), where it was also nominated for best Director.

The movie starts with the introduction of Alan Rickmans character, who is obviously a man who isn't open to the world. We will find out why, but before that, we are introduced to a girl who is bugging him. At first she annoys him, but not for long ...

This all plays in the first few minutes of the film, so it's not a spoiler. If you want to know more, you can read the plot outline, found somewhere on this site. If I were you, I wouldn't do that. Just rent the movie and watch ... if you like a drama that is also funny in quirky kind of way, but still feels real, than you are going to enjoy this, as I did!
