Amil Niazi Globe and Mail Drifting Snow is almost a tribute to what the past year has been for so many of us, fumbling our way toward something less lonely and waiting for the snow to pass. May 13, 2021 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Drifting Snow may also not be the kind of movie that an audience may want to sit down for on a lazy Sunday afternoon. However, despite a leisurely-paced movie with a pleasant setting, the themes of grief and loss may not gel with the scenery. May 25, 2024 Full Review Pat Mullen That Shelf The melancholic fields and highways heaped with snow surprisingly don't lend Drifting Snow an essential coldness. Like cold weather in Canada, grief is just something with which one learns to live. May 22, 2021 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Lots of fun poked at PEC's citified cafes and stores and people "trying out" country living but it mostly leads with the heart. A wonderful experience. May 14, 2021 Full Review Chris Knight National Post Tess Girard's wonderful cinematography reminded me of the work of Quebec director Denis Côté, and there's a similar sense of wistfulness as one often finds in his work. Rated: 3.5/5 May 13, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
