The Snowman Reviews
None of it proves engaging, regardless of the fine-looking production and solid cast.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 17, 2022
This should have been an easy win, but everything falls apart and never gets put back together again.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 29, 2021
A major disappointment on every level.
| Original Score: C | Aug 24, 2021
A slushy old mess...
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 29, 2021
It went downhill so fast.

A movie that left me as cold as the snowman's grin.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 1, 2021
The Snowman isn't just a disaster that makes less than two hours feel like an eternity; it's the worst movie of 2017.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 23, 2020
The Snowman is dull, uninspired, lifeless, sluggish and boring. I think that about covers it, let me just check my thesaurus a minute, here...oh, yes, meandering and tedious.

It's not a terrible film, but for most of this impressive cast and crew, it's likely the worst things on their filmography.

What a mess.

I cannot remember seeing a studio film that was this messy.

If only a better film could have been made from the engaging novel. If only, if only.

Deeply idiosyncratic characters and potent images can be found here and there, but The Snowman never seems under his control...
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2020
I wish I was exaggerating with this review, but The Snowman is genuinely one of the worst cinematic experiences I've had. It's laughable, yet is trying to be the furthest thing from a comedy.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 23, 2019
The final takeaway is nothing more than a feeling of dread towards the egregious and bountiful missed opportunities. [February 1, 2018]
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 22, 2019
The treatment of the killer is difficult to assimilate, being sometimes very intelligent, but strangely neglected in other moments. [Full Review in Spanish]

The only positive that the film has to offer is its picturesque cinematography of Norway which, thankfully, manages to distract the audience enough so they don't leap out of their seat out of frustration and walk out of the theatre.
| Jul 29, 2019
A complete misfire.
| Jul 26, 2019
A muddled thriller that appears to have been edited by a blind man wildly swinging an ax.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 21, 2019
Might be one of the most painfully misguided, poorly conceived mainstream films of its caliber in recent memory.
