When it comes to survival tales, Society of the Snow sets a standard that will be difficult to top.
A viscerally rendered plane crash gives way to an affecting story of humanity and survival. Bayona is on impressive form here.
Society of the Snow is careful to memorialise the dead in a moving, meaningful way.
Bayona mixes a sense of survivalist adventure with an otherworldly spirituality — the idea that they were somehow touched by something bigger, but also that the answers to what they needed were there with them all along.
J.A. Bayona’s adaptation of this much-filmed story is elevated by bracingly muscular action sequences. It manages to sustain a degree of tension despite an overlong running time and the fact that the outcome of the incident is unlikely to be a surprise to anyone.
This muscular and often brutal depiction is chiseled with authenticity, but it’s too psychologically schematic to make much in the way of an emotional impact.
J.A. Bayona rarely lets his images speak for themselves, which is frustrating given his obvious gift for poetic, almost surreal succinctness.
