Watch The Snow Walker For Free

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I've always wanted to watch this movie and finally did get a chance, worth every second.both leading roles were fantastic and did justice in bringing the characters to life. it would be wonderful to watch Annabelle bring to life more characters in the future.She deserves an award for her role in my opinion, and to learn that she actually posses the same skill sets in real life is just amazing. Its the sort of movie that leaves a person with a beautiful thought in the mind. I hope this review can helps others make up their minds in watching this movie, and tryst me you'll be a better person once you have done so/

We came across this film by accident on APTN when it followed Longmire which I enjoy very much. Even though we didn't catch the very beginning this movie it was very fast to catch our attention. The boyish James Dean-like appearance of Barry Pepper along with his cocky charm was intriguing, then, there was the landscape of the Canadian North, so beautiful. The Inuit family with their gentle nature, and the girl played pretty Annabella Piugattuk were so charming in their innocence that had to see what happened. Having as a boy read Never Cry Wolf, Lost in the Barrens and People of the Deer I have longed to travel to the Arctic and the cinematography was so wonderful I felt I was there. The Snowy owls, ravens, wolves, and caribou brought back memories of reading of the Inuit's religion and seemed mystical and full of hidden meanings. On the more earth bound side, I think we all long to see cocky people get their comeuppance and observe the character growth that adversity brings. In this tale, based on a 'true' story, a young World War ll pilot and a sick tubercular Inuit girl crash in the Arctic and she must teach the arrogant fly boy how to survive and ultimately become more human. Based quite closely on the short story Walk Well, My Brother, it is a story of human triumph and loss and very worth viewing, and it's sad that it has been under appreciated. Charles Martin Smith, who once played Farley Mowat in the 1983 movie Never Cry Wolf has done a beautiful job, he both co-wrote and directed this movie and even the few slow sections have not detracted from it. In true Farley Mowat fashion this was a wonderful tale, he never let too much reality get in the way of a good story. We really enjoyed it, and hope that you will too !

When I first heard of this movie years ago, I thought that this would be the movie to finally connect with a Canadian (and international) audience. It had a budget significantly higher than the typical Canadian movie, a fairly well-known American actor in the lead, and support of a major theatrical distributor. However, the distributor didn't give the movie much of a release, and did little to market it. The other day I found a DVD copy of the movie in the library and decided to finally watch it to see if I could determine why the movie got little push.It didn't take me long to start seeing why the distributor probably got nervous about the movie. While it's not an awful movie - it will do if you are pressed to find a movie and can't find anything better - it's kind of a disappointment. Despite the money spent, a lot of the movie looks more like a CBC TV drama instead of theatrical quality. The two central characters don't really spark when placed together, a lot of that being because the Inuit woman character can't speak much English. The movie also keeps cutting back to characters in civilization for no apparent reason except maybe to pad out the running time. There is some nice scenery (though it starts to look all alike after a while), and occasional excitement, but for the most part the movie feels very restrained in most departments. Little wonder then why the movie never got a theatrical release outside of Canada and got thrown away on its native soil.

The Snow Walker is a wonderful tale of survival in an unforgiving setting. This film masterfully directed by Charles Martin Smith is about a bush pilot Charlie Halliday(Barry Pepper) is haunted by memories of the war and takes on a immature party attitude. He is assigned to take some drums to a spot on the Arctic coast where a party of Inuit give him some ivory to take a sick girl, Kanaalaq(Annabella Piugattuk). Well on the way to Yellowknife the plane crash lands in the middle of the arctic wilderness. At first Charlie is cavalier thinking he knows what to do and is not endeared to Kanaalaq. The story is how there love grows (not romantically but on a spiritual level)and Charlie grows as a man and becomes a different man.The acting is done well nothing over the top but very believable, the cinematography is breathtaking and the story is endearing.Grade B+
