Movie Reviews

Radio Times - 6/10 by David AldridgeIt's a taut and talky film, nicely played by all concerned. But given the big themes, it is a rather small affair with few cinematic qualities.
The List - 4/10 by Angie ErrigoIt's as if a quickly discarded, crumpled-up concept was pilfered from John le Carré's waste basket by a romance novelist.
Time Out - 4/10 by David ClackDespite the Falling Snow is held back by stylistic choices.
HeyUGuys - 4/10 by Stefan PapeThis hackneyed endeavour struggles to free itself from the shackles of the genre tropes and expectations, never quite doing justice to the originality of the narrative at hand.
Independent (UK) - 4/10 by Geoffrey MacnabFor all its invocations of Russian history, this is a glorified telenovela at heart.
Guardian - 4/10 by Peter BradshawIt features laborious acting and directing, and a screenplay whose revelations are uninteresting, even were they not guessable long in advance.
Daily Mail (UK) - 4/10 by Brian VinerIt's all very Mills & Boonsky, with plinky piano music and overwrought strings trying to do what the screenplay doesn't, and generate some excitement. Alas, that doesn't work either.
Little White Lies - 4/10 by Adam ChapmanThere's great potential here, but the execution is far too clunky.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 4/10 by Tim RobeySo many shivery night-time clinches in Moscow fill Despite the Falling Snow’s modest runtime, you wonder what proportion of the budget went on that ever-whirring snow machine.
Movie Talk - 4/10 by Jason BestWriter-director Shamim Sarif... is aiming to create a tragic romance out of this intrigue yet misses her target thanks to her contrived plotting and trite dialogue.
