So when the film's moment of horror arrives, it's not with suspense but instead the sort of dully anticipatory inevitability that drains as much energy from the story as from the audience.

It's a movie that keeps its distance from the characters, so much that we can shudder at what we fear is to come but aren't really allowed to mourn the innocent trapped in this downward spiral.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

A perfect match of material and sensibility.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

It's well-made. Searingly acted. Potent. And by the time it was over, its climax realized at the water's edge of insanity and grief, I felt beaten about the head with sticks.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Yes, it's painful, but Snow Angels is so full of rich performances and characterizations that even gunshots can't kill its power.
