Snow Cake

I watched this great movie yesterday. It is about a man, Alex (Alan Rickman - love him) who picks up a rather strange girl, Vivienne (Emily Hampshire) in a restaurant. She needs a ride and he is going past where she needs to go.

After they stop for some gas, a tractor trailer plows into them and the girl dies. Alex decides to visit her mother and say he is sorry for what happened. He meets Linda (Sigourney Weaver) the mother and finds her very odd. She is a high functioning autistic he learns from a neighbor (Carrie-Anne Moss). Alex ends up staying with Linda for a week or so, arranges the funeral and then leaves town.
This movie is about the death of a child and how you learn and go on from it. It is also about accepting people.
If you can get this movie, do it, watch it!
