Top critics, in their words
Fresh
Once Mr. Bong sets his monorail in motion the movie assumes an irresistible momentum, accelerated by nonstop mayhem, gallows humor and an immersive visual style that possesses a heady sense of the steam-punk Apocalypse.
John Anderson, Wall Street Journal

This is powerful stuff, and all the more so for its straightforwardness.
John Semley, Globe and Mail

There's a righteous savagery to this movie that's almost but not quite obscured by the lushness of its imagined world.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's so hard to describe how amazing Snowpiercer is without giving away everything that makes it amazing.
