Snow Angel

This was a great little independent movie with a M Night Shyamalan type vibe. And being that I love that style of creepiness, I really enjoyed it. The movie had me intrigued and connected to the main character MJ. Catherine Bérubé is a great actress and I can easily see her in a lead lady or supporting actress role in a big budget American movie. The movie kept me guessing, confused in a positive way... The pace is very good. The plot has a major twist at the end that explains everything (no spoilers from me). It's a well achieved ending.

This is a great directorial debut from Gabriel Allard. I think this guy is going places. I will be keeping an eye out for his next project.

When I had the opportunity to sit down and watch "Snow Angel", I did so without virtually knowing anything about the movie, aside from what I read on the synopsis. With "Snow Angel" being a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually ever heard about, of course I would opt to watch it, when I was given the chance here in 2025. So I didn't have any expectations to the movie, and was open for impressions.

Writers Gabriel Allard, Catherine Bérubé, Damien Bérubé, Marc Lapointe, Louis-Philippe Tremblay and Paul Van Dyck put together a script that utterly failed to entertain me. I virtually had no idea what the movie was about or what was going on. It felt like the writers had independently of one another written segments and left it up to director Gabriel Allard to attempt to piece their segments together to make a coherent storyline. And the end result was a boring mess of a scrambled story. It just goes to prove that too many chefs spoil a dish.

I tossed the towel in the ring 66 minutes into the 91 minute runtime. By then I was just bored to tears and had no idea what was going on or what the writers were trying to tell with the farce that was supposed to be the storyline.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which was actually a good thing. I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen when I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances were fair, no doubt about that, despite the fact that the script had been served to them through a blender first.

If you enjoy mystery thrillers then "Snow Angel" is not a movie that I would recommend you to waste 91 minutes on watching. And it most definitely is not a movie that I will return to attempt finish watching. It was a waste of time, pure and simple.

My rating of director Gabriel Allard's 2023 movie "Snow Angel" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Not much new here, once you see the first 10 minutes you can predict the entire film. The same genre has been done over and over again by better films and this comes across as more of a PSA commercial than anything else.

No twists, just long, drawn out and super predictable. It's not even interesting to watch. 2/10 for the effort and that's about it.

This movie had everything I expected from a great thriller. The acting was top notch; open and unaffected performances by all actors. Catherine Bérubé was simply born to hit the big screen. Her natural talent fills the screen and so does little Margaux's.

I particularly enjoyed the way the lighting became one with the music. So dark, so creepy ! There was a scene in which a strobelike red glare played so thoroughly well with the sharp, jagged musical notes that the music practically became red. Totally in sync !

Loved the movie and will definitely watch it a few more times. Kudos to Gabriel Allard !

**MUST WATCH**

It is something of an amazing thing to have a movie produce and filmed in Quebec and for quebecers to call their own. It's with great pride and familiarity that people should watch this successful flick!

I loved the plot and will definitely be watching it again. Ill also continue to recommend it to as many people as I can.

Huge congratulations to the staff on the hard work, dedication, and completion of your first masterpiece!

I for one am extremely proud of this work of art and I am so deeply appreciative that you've delivered it to my screen for a great evening of enjoyment and entertainment.

It took a large familial and friendly community of folks to get this thing to fruition and for that and so many more reasons.... I am truly grateful.

Thank you!
