Snow Angels is a 1994 novel by American novelist Stewart O'Nan. It was adapted for the screen by American filmmaker David Gordon Green, who also directed the movie.
Those who have both read the book and seen the movie say that the movie does the novel justice. It stays pretty true to the story, and although there are some changes. Those who have read the book report that they could hardly put it down, and they're waiting anxiously to see the movie. Those who have seen the movie report that they are definitely going to read the book. Probably the biggest disappointment voiced about the movie is that it has Glenn leaving a bloody hand print instead of a snow angel, as it happened in the book.
Although the movie was filmed in Nova Scotia, the setting is ambiguous. The story in the novel took place in Western Pennsylvania—Butler, north of Pittsburgh and was set in 1974. There are a few scenes in which the movie suggests that it is also taking place in Pennsylvania, e.g., a car with blue and yellow Pennsylvania plates and a sign for Iron city beer hanging in a bar. Iron City beer is a local beer brewed in Pittsburgh.
Glenn (Sam Rockwell) was Christian. In the Bible, Jesus washed his disciples' feet as sign of humility and service, and his disciples washed the feet of others for the same reasons. Some believe Glenn washed her feet as a sign of forgiveness, or because he felt he was doing her a favor.
Annie (Kate Beckinsale) realized there was no way out. She was at a point where she had to face her own demons. In her case, it was a miserable life that was forever complicated with the death of her only child. Glenn told her to say when she was ready...
She was calling the last member of her family, the dog Bomber.
