I have seen it. Sigourney Weaver plays a moderate functioning autistic woman. The character's behavior seems to be a combination of childhood autism and mild mental retardation. The character's daughter's daughter's behavior seemed to more in the line of Asperger's or high functioning autism.

Yes, I have seen this film also.

I thought that it was good, Sigourney Weaver played her part well.

I liked the on screen relationship between her and Alan Rickman.

I would recommend this film.

Snowcake is a great movie. My best friend is obsessed with it and wants to watch it all the time. When I told her I was dx'd with AS, it wasn't five minutes before she managed to work Snowcake into the conversation (not that she was comparing me to Sigourney Weaver's character, lol).
