PRESS
‘A parable for our post-truth times.’
(Srikanth Srinivasan, Int’l Film Festival Rotterdam)
‘Profoundly sparse, anti-spectacle spectacle.’
(British Film Institute)
‘Maybe Schneewittchen itself will pass into the realm of folktale.’
(Sight & Sound)
‘Brilliant. Only our sick culture doesn’t understand that “I like” is not a value. Just watch it.’
(Mitch Horowitz)
‘Bonnetta: extraordinary. Performances top. Schtinter is a master sorcerer.’
(Dunja Bialas, Artechok)
‘I do love those moving clouds!’
(Jonathan Rosenbaum)
‘There are no dwarves or fairies.’
(Mónica Delgado, Desistfilm)
