Even Fassbender's typically intense and well-schooled performance can't elevate this muddled mess from the mundane.

... the movie itself is an inept misfire - the kind of entrancing train wreck that makes you long for a behind-the-scene tell-all to explain what, exactly, went so wrong.

In this soul-deadening freeze, who wouldn't seek solace in a bottle? Or in the physical warmth of a lover's arms? Or in mass murder?

The ensuing mystery becomes less about the one in the story, and more about how all this talent could be so squandered.

Choppy, incoherent and dull, The Snowman is one of the worst films of the year. [Full review in Spanish]

[The Snowman] is two hours of uninterrupted, snow-caked boredom.

Bad storytelling, bad monikers, bland characterisation, by-the-numbers backstory, barely interesting procedural drama: there's an avalanche brewing in The Snowman, and it's of the generic and cliched kind.

The mystery develops in directions that aren't remotely interesting, leaving the entire movie feeling flat. At least it's beautifully photographed in stunning Norwegian scenery.

With a perplexing tale and some very odd creative choices, it's so easy to laugh at The Snowman, but this kind of tale shouldn't inspire laughter.
October 31, 2017
Unrelenting, but in the most trivial, unimaginative way.

Not a single scene works as anything more than a total waste of good film.
