The Snowman

"A major disappointment (...) There’s a lot happening on the surface of Alfredson’s perplexing winter wonder-why, but considerably less going on inside." 

"Cold and lifeless. (...) a largely pedestrian affair, turgid and humorless in tone. The cast share zero screen chemistry, much of the dialogue feels like a clunky first draft and the wearily familiar plot is clogged with clumsy loose ends." 

"The glaring inadequacies of 'The Snowman' are the only things shocking about it. Harry Hole’s film career could not have gotten off to a more inauspicious start." 

"A case of a missed opportunity. It references all the right films, but 'The Snowman' comes off as a pale imitation. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"It’s a serviceable, watchable thriller, with very gruesome images. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"'The Snowman' goes wrong quickly, permanently, and in a spiral, turning into a nonsensical nightmare. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" 

"A damp adaption of Jo Nesbo’s Nordic crime drama"
