Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Snowfall.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Snowfall knows its audience.

Unpopular opinion: Snowfall is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched Snowfall last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: Snowfall's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Snowfall performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Snowfall actually is?

Honestly, Snowfall would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
