"Green is a rare bird in American filmmaking: a humanist who knows how to tell a story" | ||||
"Scene by scene his new film, 'Snow Angels', isn’t terrible. Parts of it are amusing, and there are wintry images that eat into the mind. But it’s one of the most disjunctive things I’ve ever sat through." | ||||
"Disturbingly good. The writing and the performances are such that as things go from bad to worse, the film's characters get inside your skin, your soul." | ||||
"Emotionally harrowing and gentle by turns, this well-acted winter's tale is a more narrative-driven experience than Green's more lyrical Sundance entries" | ||||
"Despite all-around wonderful performances and excellent dialogue, the story never quite coheres narratively." | ||||
"An intriguing and somber tale of disintegrating and disappointing relationships fused with a coming-of-age story" | ||||
"For a film full of murder, jealousy and fatalism, Snow Angels feels curiously small and anecdotal, and its impact diminishes as it nears its terrible conclusion" |
