7/10
Almost a classic...but not quite.

I feel this movie was well made and possessed much potential. I was really impressed with Annabella's character...she gave the movie a genuine feel. I like the fact that Kanaalaq did not unrealistically learn to speak fluent English within a short time frame, but that her and Charlie were able to communicate regardless. Although this movie was brilliantly made, the characters were well cast, the story-line was very realistic, and the connection between Charlie and Kanaalaq was mysterious and exciting, it is a movie that I will never watch again! In my opinion, when Kanaalaq died, the movie took a turn from what could have been a classic into "just another sad movie." I think the ending of this movie should be re-done. Charlie would find a way to "heal" her TB and Kanaalaq would live and their companionship would develop into a deep romance. Speaking on behalf of all the females in the world...we need happy endings! That would have been the key to make this movie a 10 out of 10!
