    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Alan Rickman read the script and actually suggested Sigourney Weaver for the role of Linda Freeman. He even telephoned Weaver, and told her she had to read the script, as there was a role he felt she could play perfectly in it. Rickman and Weaver had previously worked together in the film Galaxy Quest (1999), where Rickman's character was also named Alex.
    • Goofs
      In the film's beginning Alex exits the restaurant. In the window it says White River. He is driving to Winnipeg which is west of White River. However Vivienne has a sign that says Wawa. That means he would be heading east back to Wawa instead of west to Winnipeg.

      Linda Freeman: B-A-A-N-G.

      Alex Hughes: You can't have two A's in bang.

      Linda Freeman: In Comic Book Word Scrabble, you can. You can have three A's if you want.

    Snow Cake is excellent

    I saw Snow Cake last night at the Toronto Film Festival.

    The Film is excellent - I wouldn't change a frame. It is beautifully directed and full of refined touches - great script - great score- and the acting by Rickman and Weaver is nuanced and outstanding.

    The film conveys a very real portrait of small town (Wawa) Ontario - and nails the feeling of small town social politics, with its outward conformity vs begrudged acceptance of "strange behaviour". It also captures the stillness - the slowing of time - that one feels in a small town up north.

    See this Film. You'll really love it
