    DGG scores again.

    This was an excellent addition to David Gordon Green's filmography. SNOW ANGELS is a sad, emotional movie that grabs us like few movies have the ability to do.

    Snow Angels

     by  Daydream

    Snow Angels cast is flawless. Sam Rockwell stands out as the ?recovering? alcoholic and born again Christian who falls off the wagon after his family falls apart. Michael Angarano and Kate Beckinsale (Serendipity and Underworld) are believable and ideal in their small-town roles. Snow Angels contains two stories that intertwine, one about a shy young boy (Angarano) trying to figure out what life is and the other resembling failed marriage with one that takes a turn for the worse (a lot worse). The movie has many artistic shots blending in photography with each scene showing the movie-goer that beauty can still be found in even the darkest places. Snow Angels is strong in all aspects, but has the potential to be disheartening at times. Many of the audience, including the men were crying at certain points in the movie. Overall impressive movie.

    An excellent well-crafted film. Wonderful, complex, restrained performances. Though ultimately tragic, the movie had a lot of surprising irony and outright humor.

    Dave Green's Still got it

     by  seib101

    Snow Angeles came off to me as the kind of movie a auteur like David Green would make AFTER he sold out to the system, made his $100mil blockbuster, then came back to the indie scene with this movie to prove he's still got it. Well Davis Green has still got it and it ain't going anywhere. This movie hit me harder and stuck with me longer than any film I've seen in a very long time. I loved every single one of the characters and I just couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Performances, writing, cinematography, beginning to end, this movie delivered and stuck with me for days.

    Snow Angels, the acting is superb, but the story is to dysfunctional and sad for me.

    There were too many things that should not have happened including the death of a child. My favorite part of the whole movie was Olivia Thirlby's part. She added some greatness and normallacy in a world of insane!

    A very good and powerful film. Being honest, it's not the sort of film I normally go for but I got a chance to go to the LA premiere and I'm glad I did. The film is basically the story of a tragedy that strikes a recently separated couple interwoven with a sweet look at two teenagers falling in love. Given how the story pans out, it could have been very depressing. However, the light and the shade of the story are cleverly interwoven to leave you with a film that feels "real" but is also funny and touching. Fine performances by all the cast as well.

    POWERFUL. I really enjoyed watching the latest David Gordon Green Picture. It had some truthful, raw, and extremely powerful moments that will haunt you. Sam Rockwell is awesome.

    This was a very good story. I came in not knowing what to expect so the ending really shocked me. I thought Sam Rockwell made a stellar performance as he always does. I know this man will bring his A game every time so I don't mind spending the money to see him. Kate Beckinsale, although gorgeous throughout the entire film, did not seem as believable. I just didn't believe that her character went through those horrible events. I didn't see pain the way I saw in Rockwell but she didn't do a horrible job. Overall I was pleased with the story. Although I didn't understand how the love story tied into the movie as whole, I didn't mind it so much. Both actors did a good job.
