Celina Meyer Hovland dazzles

This adaptation of Maja Lunde and Lisa Aisato's acclaimed illustrated novel lacks the visual and narrative inventiveness of the original work, but still has enough elements to make for a pleasant little family Christmas movie. One of these is Celina Meyer Hovland in the role of Hedwig. She has just the right bubbly personality and almost manages to convey the combo of otherworldliness and ordinary girl-next-door that is crucial for the film to be able to balance on the border between magical escapism and sentimental realism. When it doesn't quite, it's because the director, Cecilie A. Mosli, at times fails to bring her collection of clichés together as a poignant whole, making the film feel too contrived in parts. This includes the attractive but glossy cinematography. Luckily, the ending, albeit telegraphed, manages to lift the story back to its weighty potential thanks to a remarkably moving scene in which Meyer Hovland dazzles - literally.

Definitely worth checking out...

When I sat down to watch the 2024 movie "Snøsøsteren" (aka "The Snow Sister"), it was part of my December movie marathon of Christmas movies. Yup, I had never heard about the movie, prior to watching it, so I literally had no idea what I was in for here.Right, well I was not prepared for what writers Lisa Aisato, Maja Lunde and Siv Rajendram Eliassen delivered, as I thought I was in for a traditional cheerful Christmas movie. In fact, "Snøsøsteren" was quite the opposite, as it is a very moody, gloomy and sort of sad movie. Not that it is a bad thing, because the storyline is very well-written and well-told, and it is definitely a memorable one and one that will stick with you.The acting performances in the movie are good, and the two young leading performers Mudit Gupta (playing Julian) and Celina Meyer Hovland (playing Hedwig) really put on great performances and carried the movie quite well.Don't sit down to watch "Snøsøsteren" and hoping to be in for a cheerful Christmas movie, as I did, because you might be sorely disappointed.That being said, then I will say, that this is most certainly a movie that is well-worth spending 97 minutes on watching. Though it is hardly a movie that will become a Christmas movie.My rating of director Cecilie A. Mosli's 2024 movie "Snøsøsteren" lands on a six out of ten stars.
