Secrets in the Snow
On this particular Friday morning the students of Eastbrook High are arriving at school to complete their final exams before the Christmas Holiday. But what began as a December snowfall quickly becomes a threatening winter storm, and school is dismissed for the day. The students who are unable to arrange transportation before the storm grows are forced to remain in the school gym. The six familiar strangers are the only students remaining as the outdoor conditions worsen and the doors are locked. Wills are tested, friendships are created, and secrets are revealed as they realize they must rely on each other to make it through the night.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Blistering performances.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It's fairly obvious that the inspiration for Secrets In The Snow is taken from The Breakfast Club. However John Hughes never put in the religious overtones in any of his films. I doubt that any of these characters would have been seen in any of his works. But as this is a Christian movie there are parameters.Not as edgy as the Breakfast Club because we sure don't have a tough guy like Judd Nelson or one thinking of suicide like Anthony Michael Hall. But these are all small town kids stuck in their high school with one of their teachers, they're not in detention for any rules infraction. Just a nice blizzard and with lots of time to spare they tell each other's secrets and bond somewhat.The most interesting characters are Hollie Shay, the glamorous teen queen of the school who dresses to kill and is a fashion role model. But she's facing some tough economic times ahead and may not have the attitude to deal with it.The other is Vincent Seidle who is the local rich kid who gets a lot of rich kid toys, but he feels no real love.They're all not bad kids and the climax is a church service attended by all. In their little white bread world there sure is no diversity. Makes it all unreal.Still the religion is there, but you're not hit with it with a sledgehammer. I doubt Secrets In The Snow will go beyond Christian audiences.
