J. Hoberman ARTINFO.com Filmed in glamorous black and white, all dialogue furnished via intertitles, the movie is less a pastiche than The Artist and, at least initially, it's not as precious. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Mar Diestro-Dópido Sight & Sound The pleasure resides as much in the layers upon layers of references to film history, to Spanish history, to fairytales, to Hollywood entertainment, as it does in its story of a little girl who loses everything. Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald It's like watching a gorgeous tragi-comic opera written by Dickens and co-directed by Fellini and Almodovar. Rated: 4/5 Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia It works decently when it adopts the formal properties of silent film, but I have the feeling that it is a dark fable adorned with facileness and that it lacks emotion in its folkloric notes on Spanish culture. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Mar 19, 2025 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension It's not just the people who look great. Most of these compositions look like photographs in an art gallery, yet manage not to forfeit their cinematic immediacy. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com if you are an adventurous moviegoer able to fully surrender yourself to a full-on sensory experience then this is very likely one film that will completely sweep you away. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Rocio D .sip no me gusta la verdad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Nahin G This is the worst movie ever. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Franklin Antonio R This a joke of movie and a Waste of time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Luis T This a very bad movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Leaburn O A brilliant retelling of Snow White set in 1920s Andalusia. We can still make great silent cinema it would seem but only if a director is daring and talented enough. Bought in DVD and finally watched after a year or so. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Danny C A Silent movie with a wonderful take on Snow White. One of my all-time favorite movies. It's not only a silent film but it is filmed in glorious black and white. It's just beautiful all around! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
