Blancanieves Movie Review: | |
| This gorgeous silent film is an unexpected gift from the gods of pure cinema. Jordan Hoffman-Film.com The purest, boldest re-imagining of silent cinema yet. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post It creates something new out of something old. And it does it by treating a treasured children's story with the grown-up respect it deserves, and retelling it with a smile - but never a wink. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A grotesquely beautiful new take on the Snow White fable by Spanish writer-director Pablo Berger. Ella Taylor-NPR In an attempt to be both modern and traditional, this gorgeously made film ends up betwixt and between. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times "Blancanieves" deftly blends cinematic antiquarianism, period atmosphere and primal emotions. A.O. Scott-New York Times The actors are well-chosen and make you forget the lack of dialogue, especially with the artful support of Alfonso de Vilallonga's music. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks The silent trappings seem like a gimmick when employed in 2013, but the story's impact is never dulled. Gabe Toro-The Playlist Overall, Blancanievesis a minor achievement in the annals of Snow White re-tellings, but not an insignificant one. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity An invigorating, breathtaking and crowd-pleasing experience that feels nourishing for your mind, body and soul. It's destined to become a sleeper hit. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru By the time Blancanieves has grown up and met the dwarves (who allow [writer-director Pablo] Berger to reference Buñuel and Fellini and, a bit predictably, 'Freaks'), the film has achieved stratospheric levels of weirdness. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News ...ably presents itself as an honest rendering of a grand old gothic tale, and not some Tim Burton-esque exercise in style for its own sake. Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com Often amusing silent black-and-white take on the classic "Snow White" tale impresses not much beyond being another visually impactful homage to period silents. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International Blancanieves' plot is gimmicky, but Berger mainly uses it as a line on which to hang one craftily shot and cut setpiece after another ... Noel Murray-AV Club Pablo Berger digs for emotional intensity in his gothic retelling of Snow White and only uncovers layers of gloss. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine ...isn't about the deteriorating commercial hoopla surrounding silent cinema a la "The Artist" but rather a pure celebration of the medium's power. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE A bold re-imagining of the Grimm Brothers' Snow White legend transmitted in exquisite black and white with upbeat paso dobles and flamenco rhythms Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve The final sequences - including the odd, unsettling epilogue - are truly beautiful, shot stunningly by Kiko de la Rica and scored by Alfonso de Vilallonga. And all of it is wordless. That's magic. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix | |
