This is a great movie, and in most instances is an accruate view of the north and the tundra or Barren`s as we call them up here. Barry Pepper and Annabella Piugattuk`s performaces were outstanding. Ms. Piugattuk is an exceptional find and another shining example of the wealth of amazing home grown talent we have in the north. Living and working through out the Arctic many of the scenes were just as I know them. I especially related to Barry Peppers scene, waking up to the swarming mosquitoes after the rain. I have suffered through such swarmings and have seen caribou driven to near maddness by them. I was also happy to hear the use of Inukt
This is a great stroy and very well done
a great story, great actors, and marvellous scenery. It`s about time we had a Canadian movie that would equal or beat an American movie, with all their big budgets.
For years I have watched American Movies because the Canadian films were not as spectacular. (the Canadian films were good but never able to grab me emotionally) However with `The Snow Walker` this all changed. This was an extraodinary film that told me `Canadian Films are now world class`. After watching it I was a bit prouder to say `I`m Canadian`. Great production, thank-you..................
Fantastic, really depicts Inuits as real people with own culture. Fantastic acting, awesome movie, really enjoyed it
A very sad story. To show humanity is a rare thing today when it comes to life in a simple way. This movie really grabbed me in a way thats hard to explain. Annabella Piugattuk play her caracter so well that I still think about Kanaalaq. What im trying to say is that she made Kanaalaq so alive that I only see Kanaalaq and not Annabella Piugattuk. She really hit the star. Other actors, an example Woody Allen, Robert de Niro you name it, when they are playing a caracter it is often you se rhe actor and not the caracter. This movie is one of my favourite now and it will be hard for another mobie to brake this one. It gets 10 out of 5 hehe.
Outstanding Performances; wonder character developement; and wow, it`s Canadian made. Quality is so good you can recommend it with pride.
I just loved it!! Annabella Piugattuk was beautiful to watch. She played her role like she`s been doing this for years. Just a beautiful movie to watch. Barry Pepper was also very good at his part!! Again, I just loved it!!!
I was totally awestruck with Annabelle Piugattuk, Not only is she beautiful, she has an awesome ability to tough the depths of your soul. Barry Pepper delivered a performance that will result in great opportunities in the future.
This movie enveloped me.Barry Pepper`s perfomance is subtle perfection.The Inuit people and their way of life should be preserved,we could learn a lot from them.
