	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'First Snow' is shrewd enough to approach basic philosophical questions in sneaky, offhand ways"	POS

United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"The actors, all strong, give the lyrical but never artificial dialogue the ring of life. Pearce is riveting"	POS
