Snow Angels (I) (2007)
7/10
only one weak point
13 December 2008
I have never been impressed with Kate Beckinsale as an actress, and her acting in this movie adds more proof to my assumptions. My wife and I watched it together and neither of us bought her performance, especially when she was "emoting". Her entire performance felt forced, except when she was sitting on the table talking to Arthur in the Kitchen of the restaurant. Aside from that, she didn't come close to the reality and pain that the other actors brought to their roles.

Sad.

Sam Rockwell's performance was stunning, as was Michael Angarano's. He will do great things. Rockwell already is.

I found morbidly fascinating the small town reality of woven lives, everyone knowing everyone, and the effects their decisions and actions have on one another. Having grown up in a smallish town like that, I understood the feeling, and found it eerily resonant.

Sad.
