A brainy bruiser that offers plenty of social commentary to go along with the exciting action.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 2, 2025

Snowpiercer holds a violent thrill, a stomach plummet, and a soul-crashing revelation behind each new compartment door.

| Mar 1, 2025

Snowpiercer is a mix of something unfathomable, subversive, thought-provoking and thrilling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2024

Snowpiercer is one of the most unique post-apocalyptic film’s I’ve ever seen, and my pick for the best science fiction film from 2014.

| Jun 17, 2024

... a high-speed metaphor speeding down the science fiction tracks of genre cinema.

| Sep 8, 2023

Snowpiercer is one of the best films of the respective decade. With a brilliant screenplay, Bong Joon-ho delivers an extremely complex narrative, filled with emotionally shocking character development, and featuring excellent stunt work.

| Original Score: A | Jul 24, 2023

Bong Joon-ho’s first English-language film is this incredible world about class, global warming, and the price of freedom.

| Feb 22, 2023

The film's strength lies in the way the screenplay's built. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 5, 2022

This graphic novel adaptation is a blend of science fiction and social commentary that plays out like a video game... With it comes Chris Evans’ finest performance.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 10, 2022

It’s a visual delight.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

Thoughtful, provocative, and far more enjoyable than your average blockbuster, Snowpiercer's pure entertainment value is outmatched only by its sobering commentary on the continual inhumanity of the human race.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 5, 2022

If you needed any more convincing of Bongs versatility as a director, credit should be given to the fact that this is an English-language film from a Korean director, that uses language and cultural perspective as a tool in the movies very storytelling.

| Feb 21, 2022

Snowpiercer examines a class system that refuses to die no matter the circumstances. Director Bong Joon-ho constantly asks whether a person must accept their preordained place in society for the sake of balance and harmony.

| Jan 22, 2022

Part allegory, part Hero's Journey, Snowpiercer makes no concessions about its religious and political metaphors, and it is all the stronger for it.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 30, 2021

Its satire of actual class warfare is as cutting as the axes the rebels and guards use.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 31, 2021

An extraordinary work of climate-change fiction, with bold visuals, gripping action, shocking violence and a brutally clear allegory for the class system.

| Aug 27, 2021

It's just as interested in examining topics like climate change, class, and cultural disparity as it is in revealing just how the film's core team navigates a never-stopping hell train to take on the bad guys.

| Jul 28, 2021

An environmental thriller - if you haven't already seen Bong's "The Host" do so now! - that is unapologetically weird, keeping the audience off balance for the entirety of its two-hour running time.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Overflows with ideas, encompassing the spectrum from vividly bizarre to profoundly mesmerizing.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Insanely brilliant.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 26, 2020
