Reviews
The Snow Queen (2014) has received mixed to moderately positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 6.0/10, reflecting appreciation for its charming visuals and atmospheric setting but some criticism toward its pacing and character development. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a full consensus or critic score available, likely due to limited mainstream release, but audience scores suggest a positive reception, especially among fans of fantasy and fairy-tale adaptations. Some reviewers praised Linda Zilliacus’s performance for bringing warmth and sincerity to the central role of Gerda. Screen Daily noted the film's "moody cinematography and artistic design," while Variety commented on its "engaging yet at times uneven narrative." Commonsense Media highlighted that the film is "a suitable family fantasy with valuable messages about courage and friendship," though it can be "a bit slow-moving for younger viewers." Overall, The Snow Queen appeals most to viewers who enjoy atmospheric fantasy stories rooted in classic folklore, despite some narrative shortcomings.
