Well done
Want sure what to expect from this movie but it turned out to be VERY good. The acting was good and the cinematography had some grit to it. The timeline played out smoothly with a few decent twists and turns. A couple parts were a little predictable, but only a little. A good tale about a father's redemption and his daughter's path out from a dark life. With a watch!

Good descriptions of the setting but I felt character development was flat, like pulled from a psychology textbook. I also felt the storyline was a bit trite. Do not expect any surprises or plot twists. It was good enough for me to keep reading though and life in Alaska seems like a very powerful experience.

Got my attention
Quite a good story about the seedy life of strip clubs in America and the girls that work there and the type of customers. I did have to stop what I was doing and concentrate on the film. Enjoyable

A Christmas film to miss
If you are looking for a GOOD feel good Christmas movie, give this a miss. I struggled to watch this to the end, and I am a self confessed Christmas movie junkie.
The acting is poor, stilled and stunted. The story line is sickeningly bad and very unbelievable. The only semi good thing was the beautiful house, scenery and town.
There are a couple of familiar faces (one being the female doc from Stargate) but even that didn't make the film watchable.
Life is short, we all want to sit down and watch a good Christmas movie, this not the one you want.

"In keeping with the dystopian theme. Murakami is always good and I am reading this right now. It’s like someone is using his fantasy to escape the dystopia of modern life. It’s like he’s accepted the way the world is, and he can’t fight it, so he delves into his inner world as way of negotiating the realities of life through his own fantasies."
