	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Overall the movie seemed too long and too, um, unsatisfying (...) A film that mostly feels out of place."	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"You’re liable to tear your hair out trying to map this mess onto Grimm’s original"	NEG
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"[It] commits neither to realism nor fantasy (...) Like the apple so fundamental to the story’s resolution, 'Blanche comme neige' is luscious on the surface but turns insipidly rotten upon the first couple bites"	NEG
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"Anne Fontaine interweaves humour with an offbeat plot which provides its two leading actresses with a fantastic platform (...) A cool and sophisticated work"	POS
