A havas Koppenhágában baleset történik: egy hatéves kisfiú rejtélyes körülmények között lezuhan a tetőről. A grönlandi Smilla Jasperson, aki szintén abban a házban él, pontosan tudja, hogy a gyerek mennyire rettegett a mélységtől, így gyilkosságot sejt. A hóban hátrahagyott nyomokból kiolvassa, hogy a kisfiú menekült valaki, vagy valami elől. A rendőrség nem hisz az asszonynak, sőt mintha akadályozni is próbálná. Smilla élete is veszélybe kerül, ahogyan egyre többet megtud az ügy hátteréről. (InterCom)

Az X-akták filmsorozat jobb epizódjának kétórás változata, kiváló színészi alakításokkal, egy izgalmas rejtéllyel aláfestve. Lassú, törékeny film, amelytől nem szabad sok akciót várni, de rá kell hangolódni a hangulati rezgéseire.

The book is an original and highly unconventional mix of genres (that ending, though), a sort of "lyrical-social eco-whodunit", while the film adaptation sticks to a mostly mysterious storyline like out of The X-Files, which is definitely not a bad thing.

I give it a weak three stars basically only for highly above-average cast, location, wherein shots of Nordic landscapes, glaciers, and overall extraordinary environment naturally play a positive role, and ultimately for directing skill, when Bille August is able to keep the viewer in suspense for a long time and evoke greater expectations than the cliché ending brings. I never read the book, so the revelation of this promising mysterious spectacle disappointed me a lot. The last 15 minutes of the film simply sink it. It needed more work on the script and avoid predictable scenes at the end, which seemed to come out of a movie parody. Overall impression: 50%.

I haven't read the book, but from the looks of the adaptation, I'd guess it's something along the lines of Dan Brown's (non-Langdon) stuff. Which is not a bad thing. The film looks good, and I was surprised by the likable cast led by a very cool Julia Ormond, but the moment the heroine boards a ship and sets off for Greenland, an interesting thriller with a solid atmosphere becomes a strangely dull parade of strange situations, culminating in a final explosion and (not shown) escape from an avalanche that would have been unbelievable even in a Bond film. Alas. A big bonus is the music by Gregson-Williams and Zimmer - I haven't heard it yet, but it strikes me as one of their best works ever.

The book is above average! The film is average! Smilla's Feeling for Snow isn't great, but it's not a disaster, either. The cinematography is a bit awkward, but the music is nice. The filmmakers left the basic storyline unchanged, thankfully, but you can find a few inconsistencies and mostly a lot of flaws – the Sea and Ice section is too abbreviated. In short, a film that doesn't impress, but on the other hand doesn't annoy either.
