Snow Angels

Drama "Snow Angels," adapted from the novel of the same title by Stewart O'Nan, is two stories of love and loss converging. One is of a recently separated couple attempting to pick up the threads of a future when faced with tragedy. The second is about an awkward young man, currently in the throes of discovering his first romance, forced to deal with the separation and subsequent strife of his parents' relationship.
Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Green is a rare bird in American filmmaking: a humanist who knows how to tell a story"
United States
Vulture
"Scene by scene his new film, 'Snow Angels', isn’t terrible. Parts of it are amusing, and there are wintry images that eat into the mind. But it’s one of the most disjunctive things I’ve ever sat through." 
United States
Philadelphia Inquirer
"Disturbingly good. The writing and the performances are such that as things go from bad to worse, the film's characters get inside your skin, your soul."
United States
Los Angeles Times
"Emotionally harrowing and gentle by turns, this well-acted winter's tale is a more narrative-driven experience than Green's more lyrical Sundance entries"
United States
Los Angeles Times
"Despite all-around wonderful performances and excellent dialogue, the story never quite coheres narratively."
United States
USA Today
"An intriguing and somber tale of disintegrating and disappointing relationships fused with a coming-of-age story"
United States
The New York Times
"For a film full of murder, jealousy and fatalism, Snow Angels feels curiously small and anecdotal, and its impact diminishes as it nears its terrible conclusion"
