What Berger does with the actors, the sight gags, the close-ups, the music, the photography is close to perfection.

This year's crowded field of Snow White movies has a winner, at least in terms of quality, in Pablo Berger's delightful Blancanieves.
Dennis Harvey, Variety

Berger, like his rad forebear Luis Bunuel, marries poetry to film.
Sarah Nicole Prickett, Globe and Mail
Fresh
While the story, shorn of its supernatural elements, is mired in abuse and tragedy, its effect is sensual and superficial.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

We're not in Disney's world. Berger knows his Grimm, and he suffuses his entrancing fairy tale with a moving sense of melancholy.
