Snowpiercer Movie Reviews
“Politically provocative and visually spectacular Snowpiercer – the best action film of 2014, and probably the best film, period.” Salon.com
“Snowpiercer evolves steadily, growing richer with every step and slowly feeding us morsels of information – enriching this ludicrous premise with enough magic and wonder to suspend our disbelief entirely.” CineVue
“Though the movie is playfully postmodern in its pastiche of styles and its mingling of sincerity and self-consciousness, there is also something solidly old-fashioned about the way it tells its story.” The New York Times
“A rare hybrid that perfectly blends the dazzle of a futuristic action thriller with the intellectual substance of an art film.” USA Today
“You couldn't ask for a better metaphor for hell on Earth than what Bong Joon-ho has wrought with Snowpiercer: constant forward momentum while getting absolutely nowhere, suffering all the while.” Toronto Star
