Chalet Girl (2011 Phil Traill)

I got it right the first time - it's that long take of Felicity Jones recounting her mother's death that shows just how good she is - and unfortunately, Ed Westwick is not in her league, thus the acting is imbalanced, no matter how many little scene stealing asides Bill Nighy throws in.

She did put in several weeks of snowboard training prior to filming in St Anton, Austria (the town's museum appeared as the chalet), but how much of her is actually in the film?

In Tom Williams' debut feature screenplay, the best line is 'No, the irony is free. It's the sarcasm you're paying for, ironically.'
