Castelo de Inverno 2: Um Amor de Inverno

After a month of depression, this film was the perfect motivation to me!

First of all, the ice hotel is absolutely stunning!

Secondly, The lead actresse spirit is joyful and fun, even her clumsy face expressions, at some points, were very fitting to the character. I gave it 10 cause it's the kind of films that you need when you feel down and discouraged, it's like a gentle push to help you believe in yourself more. Above all that, I can relate to Hana's character in so many ways. Steve lund also did an acceptable effort to picture the shy kind of guy. In the end, this film is totally joyable and worth it!

This is a predictable story with very little tension. There isn't a lot of plot but the writers and director do the one thing I frequently complain some movies don't do enough- they throw the leads together almost every possible chance.

Jocelyn Hudon is a young lead where many of the Hallmark leading ladies are nearing or past 40. There's nothing wrong with that except it limits the studio when trying to make stories about younger couples. Hudon has been doing work for Hallmark for several years now, although not as much as I would like to see lately, although perhaps Covid has something to do with that. Hudon is just right for this role and she has great chemistry with Steve Lund. Hudon does a good job dealing with the back-and-forth in her confidence and that is one thing the script does well.

I said predictable, and it is for broad strokes, but I was a little surprised at how one character acted toward the end.

Interesting location. I've never considered visiting an Ice Hotel, but this place looks magical. Having said that, the hotel and Steve Lund are the ONLY things this stinker have going for it. Lead actress has zero personality, and should consider going back to acting school. Don't waste your time.

It's odd this was part of the spring line up and seemed more fitted for winter. Beautiful ice castle, some fun facts about ice thrown in, and a different story from the traditional template. I've always wanted to stay at this ice castle in Quebec so it was cool to see it and experience it through this movie. Didn't know every year the ice castle has a completely different design! Worth a watch!

This movie hit right in the middle for me. It was good, but not that memorial for me. I did enjoy seeing the inside of the ice hotel which I found out is a very real place and dream of staying there some day! The ice slide was a fun scene. What the main female character was "struggling" with didn't seem like it should've been a big deal to carry around for so long and hold her back. So that seemed a little strange. But overall, glad I watched.
