This book-based Norwegian film is a tearjerker that ends on a sweet note and holds helpful lessons for kids about dealing with loss and grief.

It's melancholy tone is a nice contrast to the typical sweet holiday fare

The film is beautifully made and wonderfully acted, and ultimately it offers a sense of hope... [However] be warned that as beautiful as this film is, it might rip your heart out.

With its lulling, slower pace and subject matter, The Snow Sister might not be the holiday movie families want to add to their list. However, it is refreshing in its embrace of the haunting traits of more somber traditional Christmas storytelling.

Rated: 7.5/10

The Snow Sister is a very heartbreaking film for the holiday season and doesn't present anything new or interesting.

Rated: 2.5/5

Absolutely amazing Christmas movie, that really feels, much more alive and emotional than others, not one of those cheesy romances, instead copes, with real life things, like loss, and friendship, 5/5

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very cute, lovely scenery and great location choice as Tromsø is so beautiful. The lovely young boy who played Julian did a good job, the acting overall was mediocre at best, so the main character stole the show. Liked the story though, just think it could have been executed better.

Can’t stop crying. what a beautiful and interesting take on a Christmas movie . For people who have experienced loss I think this movie hits so close to home . I love when movies are able to bring out such an emotion in you and you don’t want to stop yourself . One of my favorite movies of the year. Need more publicity and want everyone to see this.

What a sweet story about friendship and family. The loss of a loved one is hard and we each cope with in a different way. This movie is beautifully shot and the performances are terrific. Tim Treakle

Having just lost my son this movie spoke to me in a sweet sad voice. I felt a peacefulness when her spirit was able to be released and find peace. The last words are true— if you love someone they are never gone as they live on in your heart.
