Blancanieves Ratings & Reviews
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
Filmed in glamorous black and white, all dialogue furnished via intertitles, the movie is less a pastiche than The Artist and, at least initially, it's not as precious.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
What Berger does with the actors, the sight gags, the close-ups, the music, the photography is close to perfection.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This year's crowded field of Snow White movies has a winner, at least in terms of quality, in Pablo Berger's delightful Blancanieves.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
We're not in Disney's world. Berger knows his Grimm, and he suffuses his entrancing fairy tale with a moving sense of melancholy.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
From Spain, here's a miracle of fairy tale repurposing: a version of the Brothers Grimm's "Snow White," set in Spanish bullfighting country in the late 1920s. Writer-director Pablo Berger's Blancanieves goes all the way with its concept, and then further.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Alfonso de Vilallonga's music isn't mere accompaniment, it's a score with rich emotional resonance. The silents, as this film suggests, achieved aesthetic marvels before sound came along to set things back for a while.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Had Berger gone deeper into Rafita's sad passion he might have passed beyond the safe frontiers of Disney and into the twisted realm of Buuel.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
If you're looking for visual kicks, this offers plenty.
Film Comment Magazine
Laura Kern
Blancanieves is painstakingly crafted, emotionally gripping at times, and more authentically Grimm than most interpretations, and it puts a slightly unsettling new spin on Prince Charming and the proverbial happily-ever-after ending.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The Brothers Grimm would have been surprised, possibly amused.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Blancanieves holds to the structure, but not strictures, of the source fairy tale.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is a full-bodied silent film of the sort that might have been made by the greatest directors of the 1920s, if such details as the kinky sadomasochism of this film's evil stepmother could have been slipped past the censors.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
As if bewitched, the legend of Snow White is transferred to Seville in the early twentieth century and transformed into high melodrama.
Newsday
John Anderson
Sensuous, mischievous, hotblooded retelling of the old Teutonic fairy tale.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
The actors are well-chosen and make you forget the lack of dialogue, especially with the artful support of Alfonso de Vilallonga's music.
Film.com
Jordan Hoffman
This gorgeous silent film is an unexpected gift from the gods of pure cinema.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The purest, boldest re-imagining of silent cinema yet.
NPR
Ella Taylor
A grotesquely beautiful new take on the Snow White fable by Spanish writer-director Pablo Berger.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
In an attempt to be both modern and traditional, this gorgeously made film ends up betwixt and between.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"Blancanieves" deftly blends cinematic antiquarianism, period atmosphere and primal emotions.
