Blown Away

About This Movie

Blown Away is one of those films that’s hard to pin down - it's a mix of teen angst, familial tension, and a bit of reckless living. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy, especially as the protagonist navigates her grief and questionable choices. The performances are a mixed bag, but I found the lead's portrayal of a girl spiraling out of control quite engaging. The backdrop of a ski resort adds an unexpected layer, creating this stark contrast between the serene landscape and her chaotic life. The pacing is uneven, but there’s a certain rawness that makes it worth watching, especially if you enjoy character-driven stories that don’t shy away from darker themes.

Released in 1993, directed by Brenton Spencer.Features practical effects for the car bomb scenes.Shot on location in a Canadian ski resort.Has a soundtrack that complements its moody atmosphere.
