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.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

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.

Annoyingly cute! I love the snow and Christmas but annoying cuz the lips were off with another language. Just wanted to hear their real voices. Predictable but definitely a tear jerker or whatever they say. Siste dans song got me good! Another language but can definitely feel the words.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Incredible and sad story for these dates. I'm not saying it's bad, on the contrary, this movie is touching. Great acting by the children.

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

Very cute, lovely scenery and great location choice as Tromsø is so beautiful. The lovely young boy who played Julian did a good job and carried the movie, however, the acting from other cast members was overall mediocre at best, although that could be due to poor directing. 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.
