Choppy, incoherent and dull, The Snowman is one of the worst films of the year. [Full review in Spanish]

Even Fassbender's typically intense and well-schooled performance can't elevate this muddled mess from the mundane.

How did a delicious Scandinavian noir novel go so spectacularly wrong on screen?

Unrelenting, but in the most trivial, unimaginative way.

With a perplexing tale and some very odd creative choices, it's so easy to laugh at The Snowman, but this kind of tale shouldn't inspire laughter.

... the movie itself is an inept misfire - the kind of entrancing train wreck that makes you long for a behind-the-scene tell-all to explain what, exactly, went so wrong.

In this soul-deadening freeze, who wouldn't seek solace in a bottle? Or in the physical warmth of a lover's arms? Or in mass murder?

Not a single scene works as anything more than a total waste of good film.

Bad storytelling, bad monikers, bland characterisation, by-the-numbers backstory, barely interesting procedural drama: there's an avalanche brewing in The Snowman, and it's of the generic and cliched kind.

The mystery develops in directions that aren't remotely interesting, leaving the entire movie feeling flat. At least it's beautifully photographed in stunning Norwegian scenery.

[The Snowman] is two hours of uninterrupted, snow-caked boredom.

The ensuing mystery becomes less about the one in the story, and more about how all this talent could be so squandered.
