Snow Cake

[Sigourney Weaver]'s work here is so mannered that she falls into the same trap that both Sean Penn (I Am Sam) and Dustin Huffman (Rain Man) did in similar roles. Rather than playing a character who has a disability, she plays the disability as the character itself. [Alan Rickman] is a little more agreeable, but the role itself is largely dull. Snow Cake is so self-consciously decent that it melts away any tension that could have made it interesting. -Kevin Courrier
