Tonight I watched my Netflix movie of the week. This week it was the movie Snow Angels. I don't exactly know how this movie made it to my queue or who told me about it, but somehow I discovered this indie film. The story is a complex one with a few parallel story lines which involve a young kid in high school, a cheating couple, and a crazy ex-husband. It takes place in some wintry location (the plates indicate PA). I thought the movie was pretty good. It definitely started out way too slow for my taste as they introduce the characters and we get to know them. After about halfway though, the movie seems to pick up some traction as small twists in the story lead to bigger twists. By the end, I was felt pretty involved in the story and could feel the tension building. The ending left me wanting a little more though. For some reason, I thought the storylines would have converged even more, ala Crash maybe, but for what they did do, it was rewarding. The acting I thought was pretty good, as some of the emotions felt by the characters seem to really come across well. Overall, a fairly good indie film. Just a tad too slow.
