Emilie Black Cinema Crazed It's ... entertaining, but it has too much in it that is just there for the sake of being there creating a film that is odd to watch and feels a bit off. Rated: 3/5 Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Tracy Allen PopHorror.com Snowflake is an ass-kicking, blood-spurting, whip-cracking, adrenaline pumping ride through the dirty, decrepit streets and naked hinterlands of abroken German government on the cusp of new regime. Rated: 10/10 Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine A violent and cynical thriller which develops its central concept in order to connect with the viewer both intellectually and emotionally. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Rich Cross Starburst Stylish, self-confident and oozing with an assured sense of cool, Snowflake struts its sassy stuff through a whole series of ridiculous and often extremely violent set pieces as its complex plot unfolds. Rated: 8/10 Feb 11, 2019 Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat At a three-way intersection between Pulp Fiction, John Dies at the End, and Boondock Saints in a universe David Lynch would give his blessing to, lies the frenetic twisted German insanity of Schneeflöckchen. Rated: 8/10 Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Beth Accomando KPBS.org Snowflake serves up a Molotov cocktail of Tarantino audacity, Coen brothers cleverness, and meta-textual self-awareness.

david b Absolutely brilliant! One-of-a-kind send up of revenge movies that turns them on their ears. Promising Young Woman's Emerald Fennell could learn a lesson or three from this script on how to write an ending(s). How refreshing to know adult action entertainment can be this good (cathartic, touching, and thoroughly involving). Don't miss this unique film. German with subtitles, however, a good portion is in english dialogue. Highly creative and intelligent script with many darkly funny lines and entire scenes. Acting is commited. There are several images you won't easily get out of your head. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sorry... Nice B-movie, but not more than that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member "Snowflake" is aptly titled, it is a rare and unique film that almost defies label, genre or description. The story is part pulp crime thriller , and part alt comic meta script. As I sat mesmerized by the method , and mesmerizing nature of Kolmerer's storytelling I could only think of a few other times I have watched this kind of cinema- "Pulp Fiction", "Southland Tales" and to some degree "Go". The story is layered, and ambitious, almost operatic. "Snowflake" gives a story with microcosms of revenge, motive and the mundane. All of which are told in a style that makes each character elaborate and superior. The cast give quality performances and feel authentic in their extravagant nature. Much like each and every character Tarantino creates, and just like Tarantino, Kolmerer's feel real. The special effects are almost non-existent, and quite frankly irrelevant. People die, little onscreen splatter is celebrated, but you don't think about that. The cinematography is excellent, the atmosphere is nearly stoic and seems to breathe. The writing is exceptional and creative. "Snowflake" is a wonderfully unique, conception thriller that just has to be seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Snowflake is a freewheeling roller coaster of retribution, pitch black humor and riotous bloodshed. Fans of Pulp Fiction, Smokin' Aces and Boondock Saints should not let this one pass them by. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
