📺 Movie Review: Winter Castle

Here we are. A more typical January day. A cold front moved in on the jet stream, and it brought snow. I was awake at 11:30, after going to bed at 9, I peeked outside and there was our bunny under the feeder.

It is still snowing this morning. Once it stops I'll go out and blow it away. In the meantime, I am warm and cozy with my housecoat and jammies, and my coffee.

I had so much fun watching this one. It's your typical Christmas RomCom, but the locations are amazing. 

It began at the Ottawa Farmers Market: Le Moulin de Provence. This is our protagonist, walking to work, supposedly. Ullerup, the actor, was in a Canadian television show, Arctic Air, which we enjoyed. It was set in Yellowknife, filmed in British Columbia, and Northwest Territories.



Emilie Ullerup is a lovely Canadian actor born in Denmark. She moved to Vancouver in 2003. She trained there as an actor and has a prolific filmography. 


The film moved from Ottawa to the country, and to Quebec.


Isn't this wonderful?! This is an actual Ice Hotel. Village Vacances Valcartier
At $400 CDN/night, it's a tad beyond us. There are hot tubs and access to lots of nearby winter activities. I couldn't help feeling a bit cold, though.

I loved this pub. I haven't been able to find it, though. 

An old schoolhouse or church. These scenes were shot at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, east of Ottawa.

They do some wonderful outdoors activities, a ride with a horse and buggy. Winter scenes. It was a fun one, with people enjoying the winter and the Ice Hotel. 

The humorous part of the film is when our hero, 'Jenny,' tries her hand at cross-country skiing. She doesn't do too well skiing (part of the plot), but the actor was born and grew up in DENMARK❓❗
