A gripping, thrilling & heartfelt ode to human resilience, solidarity & sheer will to survive against all odds, Society of the Snow dramatises the miraculous real-life story concerning the survivors of the 1972 Andes flight disaster, and makes for a nail-bitingly intense & heartbreaking account of their harrowing ordeal. Tight direction, sustained tension & increasing stakes allow us to stay invested in the proceedings but the fine-tuned technical execution, especially sound, elevates & enriches the experience some more. Though slightly longer than necessary, J. A. Bayona's latest still does what it set out to do and is his finest effort so far.
