Movie Reviews of The Snow Queen

Movie Review: Seductive and Powerful: A Story of Temptation, Redemption, and True Love
Summary: 5 Stars

I apologize beforehand to all people who read this review because I have never read Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen." Andersen was a wonderful writer of fairy tales, but I could never get into "The Snow Queen." However, this movie was enthralling from beginning to end.

Gerda lives with her father, an innkeeper, and does all the work her deceased mother would have done had she survived. When Kai, a new employer, comes to work at the inn, he and Gerda gradually find themselves falling in love. However, a seductive yet malevolent force, the Snow Queen, seeks to bring Kai under her evil sway. When Kai falls victim to her icy and caressing call, Gerda embarks on a perelous quest to rescue him. Before she can free her true love, she must face her own shortcomings and come to terms with her mother's death. Will she succeed, or will the ruthless Snow Queen conquer all?

This movie was multi-layerd and beautifully portrayed. I especially loved the fact that a young woman set out to rescue her love instead of the more traditional tale of a man rescuing a woman. All the characters are complex, and even the Snow Queen is empathetic to a certain extent. My favorite aspect of the movie was a subplot involving a polar bear that guards Kai in the Snow Queen's palace.

The acting in this movie is very good. Bridget Fonda is chilling as the manipulative Snow Queen, and her seductive voice and cold laughter will chill you to the bone. Chelsea Hobbs was magnificent as the heroine. Please give this excellent film a chance. God bless you all.

(Please look for my fantasy novel, Crimilia, published by Tate Publishing, which is scheduled to be released later this year. Thank you).
