Bloody snow angels Annie and Glen, former spouses, Annie raises a daughter Terra, and Glen sometimes comes to talk to them, he dreams of making peace with his ex-wife, but she does not want this, and starts an affair with another man. Soon there is an accident with Terra, which finally changes the lives of parents and a small town.
Drama, it feels from the first minutes, but what a heavy drama can be understood only closer to the middle, then the clouds over the city begin to thicken and everything turns gray and ash color, and the oppressive mood seems to prevail over all its citizens, and the incident with baby Terry, once and for all changes the lives of others. Glen finally goes crazy, turning into a person unable to solve his problems reasonably within the framework of public morality, he solved his problems in his own way.
It is the acting of Sam Rockwell that makes this film so strong, vivid and emotional, and although screen time belongs more to Kate Beckinsale, Sam did not get lost against her background, but on the contrary made his character so memorable that for me he became an actor capable of playing any role. He is just an amazing actor, starting with the Green Mile and Iron Man, he constantly amazes with the diversity of his characters, success in the future.
Kate Beckinsale, a beautiful woman, I am used to seeing her in science fiction films, because it is amazing to see the actress in such an independent film, but nevertheless with the role of a divorced woman who suffered from the loss of a child and the terror of her ex-husband, she coped, the dramatic role she succeeded.
The verdict, behind the bright cover of the film and the big names of the actors was hidden deep meaning and morality, for me, first of all, this is a film-drama about family values and love, which turned into empty words. But the main thing is that after the storm, the sky clears and the sun appears, which makes us see the world in a better light, which is what happened to Arthur, a teenager who became an unwitting witness to what is happening between Annie and Glen.
