La hermana de nieve

Message from this wonderful Christmas movie: 'Keep loved ones close at heart at Christmas'. That's how they would have liked to be remembered. Loved and never forgotten. Remember the laughter, the joy, the good times and not the tears. Top marks for subtle storytelling, great directing, careful timing of shots, clever editing, and music with only the smallest hint of suspense that gradually grows on you. 'Opening a present is not as exciting as getting one, it is the suspense that should be enjoyed and prolonged' said the bright, cheerful girl in red, Hedwig.

Slowly, the story unravels and things appear that make you realise that not all are what they seem to be .... and yet, it is so charmingly filmed, that you at first think that it is just a good fun movie for kids. There is a lot more beneath the surface. You are swept along the fjord and scenic beauty of Norway, covered in sparkling Christmas snow icing. Each snowflake crystal is unique, do you know that? There are billions of snowflakes in a snowfall and yet, no two are the same.

A modern day love story as told by children with tons of snow love in their hearts for their young friends and family. Bring home Christmas Joy this Christmas. 🎄

I mean its the storyline which makes this movie special but i admire the way how it is presented to us (audience). After so much time i have watched a movie that is worth watching. It is a heartwarming holiday movie with beautiful themes like loss, hope and the beauty of Christmas.(Synopsis) this story follows a young boy struggling with grief, whose family is weighed down by a tragic loss. Just when it seems the joy of the season has faded, he meets a lively girl in a red coat who helps him rediscover the spirit of Christmas. Much love to the director, actors, producers and all the people who were behind in the making of this film. Thanks for giving this film to us (audience).

What a lovely film! Snow Sisters tells a touching and heartfelt story about loss while also offering a hopeful and uplifting message. The main characters, Julian and Hedvig, are portrayed with genuine and nuanced performances, making it easy to empathize with their emotions and actions. This isn't a fast-paced action movie; instead, it's a reflective and tender experience, like savoring your favorite drink. The script is very well written, exploring themes of grief and healing with sensitivity. The cinematography captures the natural beauty of the setting and the emotions of the characters without feeling intrusive, creating a visually engaging experience. The soundscape and special effects subtly enhances the atmosphere, drawing you deeper into the world of the film.

While the theme may feel heavy for some, it mirrors a reality that many can relate to, offering a sense of solace and understanding. For viewers who appreciate meaningful, character-driven stories, Snow Sisters is an emotionally rewarding watch. Highly recommended!

Snow Girl (2024) is a heartwarming holiday film that beautifully balances themes of loss, hope, and the magic of Christmas. The story follows a young boy struggling with grief, whose family is weighed down by a tragic loss. Just when it seems the joy of the season has faded, he meets a lively girl in a red coat who helps him rediscover the spirit of Christmas.

The film's visuals are enchanting, especially the girl's festive, glowing home, which adds to the magical atmosphere. The boy's journey toward healing is deeply moving, and the film's message about finding hope in dark times resonates long after the credits roll.

With its blend of warmth and mystery, Snow Girl is a perfect holiday watch that reminds us of the power of belief, joy, and healing.

When I sat down to watch the 2024 movie "Snøsøsteren" (aka "The Snow Sister"), it was part of my December movie marathon of Christmas movies. Yup, I had never heard about the movie, prior to watching it, so I literally had no idea what I was in for here.

Right, well I was not prepared for what writers Lisa Aisato, Maja Lunde and Siv Rajendram Eliassen delivered, as I thought I was in for a traditional cheerful Christmas movie. In fact, "Snøsøsteren" was quite the opposite, as it is a very moody, gloomy and sort of sad movie. Not that it is a bad thing, because the storyline is very well-written and well-told, and it is definitely a memorable one and one that will stick with you.

The acting performances in the movie are good, and the two young leading performers Mudit Gupta (playing Julian) and Celina Meyer Hovland (playing Hedwig) really put on great performances and carried the movie quite well.

Don't sit down to watch "Snøsøsteren" and hoping to be in for a cheerful Christmas movie, as I did, because you might be sorely disappointed.

That being said, then I will say, that this is most certainly a movie that is well-worth spending 97 minutes on watching. Though it is hardly a movie that will become a Christmas movie.

My rating of director Cecilie A. Mosli's 2024 movie "Snøsøsteren" lands on a six out of ten stars.
