if i could use two words to describe this film,i would have to say it is melancholy and haunting.that's the mood that pervades the film.Guy Pierce once again proves he s real talent in this film.he plays a shady,slimy kind of guy.not a criminal,but just someone who's a b.s. artist.but then he meets someone that changes things.beyond that,you'll have to watch the movie.the title is actually quite relevant and self explanatory,which is nice.i don't see myself watching this movie again anytime soon as i just found it too bleak.but it was definitely worth watching once,mostly for the performance of Guy Pierce.for me,First Snow is a 6/10
