Snow Angels

Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell

A really sad movie. We follow a group of working class folk who have made a collective hash of their lives. The director...David Green...cuts rapidly among their various threads, making it hard for us to follow for a long while but which serves to emphasize the interconnectedness among all of them. The main story ends very badly.

All the gloom is somewhat leavened by the interweaving of a young-love story between two outcast high school kids. I couldn't help but wonder how grim their future will be after the initial phase was over.

Well-acted. I found the editing unnecessarily annoying...especially after watching TA last night. Still, this was a solid effort which added to the CV of everyone involved.
