| NewsBlazePrairie MillerChris Evans takes charge on this truth as strange as science fiction express to nowhere, as a deprived but dashing commuter warrior on wheels. While facing off against a terror tycoon's lookalike dead ringers for the menacing hooded neo-nazis of Kiev. |
| CineVuePatrick GambleSnowpiercer evolves steadily, growing richer with every step and slowly feeding us morsels of information - enriching this ludicrous premise with enough magic and wonder to suspend our disbelief entirely. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfSprung from a 1982 French graphic novel and bearing its era’s trickle-down tensions, Snowpiercer is a headlong rush into conceptual lunacy — but you’ll love it anyway. |
| Cine PremiereSergio López AguirreThis is a new Sci-fi classic with universal appeal and endless possibilities for analysis that will have people talking for years to come. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerThe bold cinematic style of Boon Joon-ho strikes gold in this striking and powerful drama in which control and the order of things are key |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt is a thing of pure cinematic beauty, the movie you want in your deck when arguing for the artistic potential of action films. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanBest enjoyed as a thriller on steel wheels with a salutary moral, Snowpiercer is cinematic and compelling, despite its flaws, which emerge on too close a scrutiny of the screenplay, which tried hard to be original, but is caught up in its own story cogs |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanSnowpiercer hits the sweet spot of working as entertainment while still having enough brains to keep you intellectually engaged. It's a movie for people who love movies that play by their own rules. |
| The New RepublicDavid ThomsonThe most bracing and liberating thing about Joon-ho Bong's Snowpiercer is not just its lyrical forward motion, but the exuberance with which the film revels in its plot predicament. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisIt's a downbeat spectacle. But very good, unforgettably bizarre, original filmmaking and adventurously explored ideas can leave you feeling high, especially when you don't know quite how it's been pulled off. |
