Smilla's Sense of Snow has an eerie yet hypnotic style to it that really caught me by surprise. This is a mysterious film, based on a bestseller that I confess, I?ve not read, so can't comment on as an adaptation but I can recommend this to anyone who likes their films to be bot...( read more)
A uniquely compelling and engrossing thriller. Billie August's perplexing and fascinating film contains Julia Ormond's single best performance and has a bizarre, oddball plot and wonderful supporting performances from Gabriel Byrne and Richard Harris. A brilliant thriller.
What a compelling, shocking movie. This had me starved to find out the ending and I've watched it several times. The suspense kills me!
Smilla is a very real person, very believable, and I absolutely adore her.

The Best Movie I have seen for the Month of March, ranks as an all time high. Smilla is a star. The suspense will keep you on the edge of your chair. I can't believe that this film didn't get more awards, its a sleeper. Other then the Berlin International Film Festival I don't t...( read more)
The first half is taut and interesting, while the second half degenerates into a second-rate thriller. It seemed quite obvious that there was just not enough time to cover what must be a great book. Dan Brown's Deception Point feels like a blatant rip-off.
I need to watch this again. I haven't seen it since I was pretty young, so I should rewatch it to give it a proper rating.
Isaiah's the child i want to bear, it really is. i love his way of being, his eyelids, his way of saying "Ilaga, Ilaga". Smilla's numbers and ice, she's lovely to death. and Gabriel Byrne it's so similar to Sean Penn, and i love them both (plus, he stutters! *oh, oooh*)
