A delightfully poignant piece that eloquently captures the complexities of life and relationships. A mother and son tread carefully around the icy edges of the issue at hand until they are suddenly waist deep in it. A wonderful relationship piece peppered with humour and honesty.

A mother and son share their authentic connection and muddle through their shared grief in this funny, moving treatise on snow removal. Having a physical objective releases their emotional constraints and leads to real communication. Their humorous affection plays out to the very final beat.

Maybe it’s an existential treatise on the merits of a snowblower and maybe - just maybe - it’s a beauty of a scene that highlights a loving bond between family members - seen and unseen. Or maybe it’s both. One thing’s certain - McLindon does an outstanding job of giving us the heart of a family amid snowflakes and snowplows. Then he throws a few snowballs in there just to keep it real. A delight for actors and audiences, you may just be pining for snow at the end.

A great piece about the difference of generations and how one's upbringing has molded them. Sweet, funny and well done.
