Cute, but not well written
Am I the only one that thought the boyfriend was out of line charging in *with no notice* to his (clearly not longstanding) girlfriend’s house WITH his kid’s suitcase and expecting the girlfriend to take care of the kid overnight? And then, later, he has the sheer audacity to get peeved at her for taking in the man who saved her life, because she may be endangering his daughter?

This all happens early on as mostly the setup for the story, but I lost a lot of respect for the main character in those two scenes, because in everything else she’s portrayed as tough as nails, and if she’d kept in character she would have told the guy to forget it. This scenario made it easy for the writer to set up the next events, but it made the story less strong. Even a small conversation about why he hadn’t phoned her first to ask her if it was all right or even actually phoning and her agreeing to it would have saved both those characters in my eyes.

A faithful gift
‘A Christmas Snow’, yet another recently seen Christmas film seen during my favourite holiday, could have gone either way. It could either have been very charming, cute and heart-warming, which is more my idea of what a Christmas film should be like. Or it could have been too schmaltzy and forced with unsubtle moralising. There are quite a number of examples of both extremes around, as well as a fair share of festive films that have elements of both and induce mixed feelings with me.

One Christmas film that fits into both camps and has elements of all the above is ‘A Christmas Snow’. It is better than average with a good deal to like, one can see why it would connect with viewers and the effort that was put in. For me though, for all its good intentions and that it had its heart in the right place, it was not a great film and it is not hard to see why there are people that didn’t care for it (also understand, and share some of, their reasoning).

It’s a good looking film. Nice scenery. Slickly filmed. The music avoids being too constant or over-scored and captures the essence of Christmas quite well. There are thoughtful and moving moments in the script, the direction is visually slick and while far from perfect is not cold in the emotional department.

There is charm here, it gets very heart-warming towards the end, some of the second half is very poignant and the children are cute without being too cutesy. The actors all do quite well, Cameron Ten Napel is very heartfelt and Muse Watson’s sincerity really shines through.

However, ‘A Christmas Snow’ can go too overboard on the sappiness so parts are too sickly sweet. While the film does pick up, it doesn’t have the most promising of starts. The first half has a tendency at times to move too slowly and some of the story is very contrived.

Can see where one reviewer is coming from regarding the boyfriend, that did not strike me as realistic and yes she should have behaved tougher. Liked the well intended messaging but it could have been executed with a lot more subtlety.

On the whole, a little above average but for me it wasn’t great. 6/10
