Schneeflöckchen

I really loved this film. Saw it at the Fantasy Film Fest in Berlin. Finally Germany has made a great fantasy film. It's a great plot too: Someone murdered their families and these guys have to hunt them down, but they get caught in a wicked fantasy. It's soooo Berlin of the future. Very original. Hooray!

Great humour, very original, good storyline, actors on top. I enjoyed it so much! It should be on every big screen!

I have waited way too long and have seen way too many miserable German films - but "Snowflake" is my reward, the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow of shite.

Not since "Run, Lola, run" has a film blended action, humor, violence and smart dialog so perfectly. It's also a brilliant meditation on the nature of movie making and determinism/free will.

It's nigh unbelievable that - due to a lack of studio or network support - this was actually filmed over the course of four years (mostly on weekends). It looks absolutely polished, never openly betraying its very limited budget.

Is it flawless? Almost. Sure, the final act could've done with some minor trimming, the title is a bit bland and the sections that were shot in English are a bit more awkward than the rest - but these are minor quibbles.

Watch it in German, if you can - watch it with subtitles, if you must. But watch it. You'll have one hell of a time.

I do not rate movies that often, as most simply don't interest me enough. Have to make an exception here and share how impressed I am! But no spoiler ;)

This fairy tail piece of art keeps you in its grip from the first second on, plays with your sympathy and keeps your mind occupied, as basically nothing happens as you would expect it.

For a comedy, there is a lot of bloodshed (maybe don't watch with the kids). Nevertheless, the jokes are witty and amusing and before you know it, the movie is over and leaves you enthusiastic and somehow enlightened.

And wondering what sick idea they will realize in their next movie - I can't wait!

This movie is a much needed breeze of fresh air in a country where most of the movies take them-self way to serious. Snowflake is so unusual, so funny and first and foremost so entertaining. The cast is tremendous. Doesn't matter if it is the both leads Reza Brojerdi and Erkan Acar with their banter or Alexander Schubert as the screenwriter or on screen legend David Gant. Also the look is what really elevates the movie. The cinematography makes you think you are watching something with a much higher budget that they actually got, all crowdfunding by the way. I hope that this will make it's way into movie theaters nationwide and even internationally eventually but nonetheless I have no doubt in my mind that director Adolfo Kolmerer will make his way as well as Arend Remmers who delivered this incredible script. Snowflake delivers on every level. Go watch this movie and enjoy it as much as I did.
