Trivia:
Broken-Social-Scene was approached to score this film, and flew out to London to do so. Actress Emily Hampshire introduced director Marc Evans to Broken-Social-Scene during production. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: In the beginning of the movie Alex exits the restaurant. In the window it says White River. He is driving to Winnipeg which is west of White River. Yet Vivianne has a sign that says Wawa. That means he would be heading east back to Wawa instead of west to Winnipeg. moreQuotes:
Linda Freeman: Have you ever had an orgasm, Alex?Alex Hughes: It has been known.
Linda Freeman: It sounds like an inferior version of what I feel when I have a mouthful of snow.

I saw Snow Cake last night at the Toronto Film Festival.
The Film is excellent - I wouldn't change a frame. It is beautifully directed and full of refined touches - great script - great score- and the acting by Rickman and Weaver is nuanced and outstanding.
The film conveys a very real portrait of small town (Wawa) Ontario - and nails the feeling of small town social politics, with its outward conformity vs begrudged acceptance of "strange behaviour". It also captures the stillness - the slowing of time - that one feels in a small town up north.
See this Film. You'll really love it
