Directed by David Gordon Green1h 46m2007
Waitress Annie has separated from her suicidal alcoholic husband, Glenn. Glenn has become an evangelical Christian, but his erratic attempts at getting back into Annie's life have alarmed her. High school student Arthur works at Annie's restaurant, growing closer to a new kid in town, Lila, after class. When Glenn and Annie's daughter goes missing, the whole town searches for her, as he increasingly spirals out of control.
Our read: Snow Angels (2007) reads as a heavy, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, steady, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
