Brief Review |
| culturevulture.net |
"...a movie that seems to understand the perils of its theme, yet succumbs to a clenched sense of virtue just the same." more... |
| E! Online |
(grade: B) "By no means a flop, but [director] Hicks doesn't quite shine like he did before." more... |
| Flick Filosopher: As Cold as the Snow |
"...pretty pictures alone do not a film make, and [this film's] attempt to tell its tale almost entirely through images rather than words simply doesn't work." more... |
| Moviebodega |
(rating: C-) "...a gargantuan sinkhole of a film as muddy and confused as any in modern memory." more... |
| Radio Free Entertainment |
"Unusually thoughtful for a mainstream movie, presenting a very unbiased view of social problems that plague us to this day." more... |
| Roger Ebert |
(3.5 stars) "...reveals itself with the complexity of a novel, holding its themes up to the light so that first one and then another aspect can be seen." more... |
| San Francisco Examiner: History is made nice in sanitized 'Cedars' |
(2 stars) "...a soulless visual poeticism that's like watching a two-hour Aetna ad. Every gesture is in slow, rapturous motion." more... |
| Spliced Online: 'Snow' Storm Shines |
"Supremely cinematic and richly drawn in penetrating, slow-burn emotions, 'Snow Falling On Cedars' is a truly transporting, layered, period drama..." more... |
| Time |
"...essentially a liberal soap opera." more... |
| Variety |
"...an impeccably crafted but dramatically dull adaptation of David Guterson’s international bestseller." more... |
