Critic Reviews for Blizzard of Souls

All Critics (15) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (4)

  • A very powerful film made on a particularly small budget.

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • A movie with plenty of small portions that communicate thought-provoking ideas and gripping melees but without a substantial human anchor.

    Carlos Aguilar

    RogerEbert.com

    Glenn Kenny

    New York Times

  • A naïve teenager comes of age amid the carnage of World War I's Eastern Front in this propulsive adaptation of Aleksandrs Grins' 1934 patriotic classic "Blizzard of Souls."

    Alissa Simon

    Variety

  • The filmmakers are unafraid of the picturesque, lighting scenes so they resemble old-master canvases.

    January 3, 2021 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Mark Jenkins

    Slant Magazine

  • Blizzard of Souls, the 1934 novel from which this is drawn, is based on author Aleksandrs Grīns' own frontline experiences, and The Rifleman successfully captures the hazy, gauzy quality of memory.
