Alex Hughes, an ex-convict, is on a road trip to Winnipeg to see an old friend. Along the way, he meets the annoying, but vivacious, Vivienne Freeman who manages to bum a ride with him. Just as he begins to warm to this eccentric girl, Alex's vehicle is in a serious automobile accident that kills Vivienne. After his meeting with the police, Alex decides to speak with Vivienne's mother. Upon arrival at her home, Alex discovers that the mother, Linda, is a highly functional autistic woman who convinces him to stay long to take out the garbage the day after the funeral he agrees to arrange. In those few days, Alex discovers new friends and learns more about the uniqueness of Linda even as he struggles to come to terms with his own grief.
Leave your thoughts about Snow Cake.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordWhat could have been a schmarmy, overly sentimental film is, instead, one of decent filmmaking and good acting. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceySnow Cake is painful slogging. The plot is awkwardly contrived. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandAs a Special Presentation in the Toronto film festival this past September, Snow Cake made a strong first impression. Now wider audiences have an opportunity to share in an experience that can enrich lives. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneJames HebertSnow Cake reflects a sense of the almost infinite ways autism manifests itself, in all its baffling and fascinating and sometimes agonizing realities. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsEveryone and everything is surprising in this arresting film whose heart is as warm as its setting is cold |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsAlex first appears in Snow Cake aboard a plane, embodying an obvious contradiction, in motion and still at the same time. |

| Toronto StarGeoff PevereSnow Cake is a small movie in the best sense. It's character-focused, precise in its arc and just roomy enough to let its performers breathe and expand at the languid pace the material demands. |
| BBC.comStella PapamichaelA deeply moving, life-affirming tale -- the many scathing one-liners are just icing on the cake. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsThe Canada-set Snow Cake is clearly meant to be Weaver's movie, and people with first-hand knowledge of autism say it's the most convincing depiction they've ever seen. |
