White as Snow

Really bad! I fell asleep for 30 minutes Nothing happens

Great movie. First what I've said, after I finished watchig, was: "It's like a choleretic agent, but for a someone's soul".

What a disappointment. I truly wanted to like this going into this knowing Isabelle Huppert was playing a modern dark comedy version of the evil queen. A revisionist Snow White as an dark comedy with erotic elements? sounds perfect.

But the end product is terrible, not funny at all and instead, trite,predictable and just a jumble of post feminist cliches. The feminist would have been inherent in the plot there was need need to make it so hamhanded. In fact it ends up being exploitative of women. Hubbert and Poelvoorde are wasted, my guess embarrassed in the end to even be in this mess.

Everybody knows the tale, and some writer have made wonderful work with it: Some innovative, some sweet, some captivating... This version has nothing to bring to us. There are formidable actors like Vincent Macaigne, Benoît Poelvoorde (this two reach are the only good work about the movie) and Isabelle Huppert (she couldn't do much I think since her role is without any emotion or extravagance), and the director fault in creating something. The only thing that kept me seeing the movie till the end is the actress Lou de Laâge, not for her work that was poorly executed (maybe because of the director, I don't know), but because of her naked (I'm a simple man) and to see if she had sex with all the "seven dwarves". It's not the best compliment we can do to an actress or a movie... She's beautiful but never expressed the "purity" that everyone talks about on the movie. The sex scenes are there without bringing any intensity or something new to the plot or characters. It could have so much passion, emotions, etc, but nothing there... This movie could be great on so many levels, it fails on everything unfortunately.

Modern and revisited version of the German tale set in shape by the Grimm brothers in 1812 and popularized all over the world by Walt Disney in 1937. It's funny, inventive, subversive, free and mature. Although the movie slightly flounders during the first thirty minutes, Anne Fontaine dares! The wicked witch imbued with her person is replaced by an unscrupulous woman disappointed by her unfaithful husband, and the seven dwarves are partially replaced by ...guess what!... sex friends, the movie openly flirting with eroticism. Lou de Laâge, Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Macaigne and Benoît Poelvoorde are awesome.
