Snow Cake 2006

Alex (Rickman) is for an unnamed reason
driving to Winnipeg. Very much against his wishes – he is burdened with his own
demons – he gives young Vivian (Hampshire) a lift to Wawa. After a dreadful
accident he seeks out Vivian’s mother Linda (Weaver). To his dismay and
discomfort he discovers that she is severely autistic and he doesn’t know how
to deal with her.
It’s tragic, it’s funny, it’s Rickman and
Weaver. Even Carrie Anne Moss is there and Emily Hampshire is a real gem.
