Critics Consensus

Snowpiercer offers an audaciously ambitious action spectacular for filmgoers numb to effects-driven blockbusters.

J. Hoberman

The New York Review of Books

A madcap addition to the comic-book-derived movies that have dominated cinematic summer fare.

The Atlantic

That rare experience you don't get to have much in the summer anymore, a loud, clanging, original action flick that's grabbing you by the lapels and yelling in your ears.

Toronto Sun

It's a wicked, violent parable, and one of the only movies of the summer worth talking about after the credits roll.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Frenzy

A brainy bruiser that offers plenty of social commentary to go along with the exciting action.

Rated: 3.5/4

Willamette Week

Snowpiercer holds a violent thrill, a stomach plummet, and a soul-crashing revelation behind each new compartment door.

Bizarre film that you would have to be high to appreciate and I don't even think that would help much.

Masterpiece. Every frame carries so much meaning. I've enjoyed this much more than Parasite (which frequently derailed into chaos for no good reason) The guest feature in the last frames is very impactful considering the overarching environmental and social message of the movie. If the train causes such abominations then it's not sacred. We should do away with it and replace with something new.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The movie was fun. Not the most original, but is able to differentiate itself from similar movies.
