7/10
Quietly sneaks up on the viewer

I must admit that for a film that lacked any real action other than the plane crash, "The Snow Walker" has some fine qualities. The casting and character driven plot is excellent. The photography clearly depicts the graveness of their situation. The gradual understanding of the Inuit Woman, and her survival techniques, is well delivered. Charles Martin Smith obviously understood the vision he was trying to create. Not an easy movie to shoot, under harsh conditions, I rate this a 7.0. Comparable survival film ratings would include "Touching the Void" 9.0, "The Red Tent" 7.0, "Alive" 6.5, "Grizzly Man" 7.0, "Vertical Limit" 6.5. - MERK
