    #Watched Society of the Snow (2023) - The bit where the passenger looks out the window and there’s a gremlin on the wing … I got chills. Also, topic of cannibalism first broached? 36m into an 144m movie. These guys are READY TO GO. #filmsky

    Do the dead have a right to not be eaten? Do the living have a right to survive? Cannibalism movies get thoughtful with Netflix's Society of the Snow. Here's my review

    These two scenes from Alive (1993) and Society of the Snow (2023), are illustrative, I think, of just how much brighter movies used to be.

    Watched Society of the Snow Probably the most tense survival film i have seen, which makes sense given it is based on a true story. It's direction, cast and writing really shows the serious danger of the environment while showing hope through the actions of the characters.

    J. A. Bayona's film SOCIETY OF THE SNOW is an intense, affecting experience about the 1972 Andes plane crash (already dramatised in 1993 as ALIVE; nb this film is better). Some reviewers complain it's too long, but it's exactly as long as it needs to be. www.theguardian.com/world/2023/d...

    It's excellent. I saw Alive years ago and I'd read a book by one of the survivors (Nando Parrado). The film never came close to covering what they went through, and it's also pretty shoddily made. Society of the Snow was the exact opposite.

    Was reluctant to see SOCIETY OF THE SNOW because bleak snowy conditions, nope (plus that other thing, YUCK), but gotta say, two thumbs up. A sincere movie featuring young men with no hint of toxic masculinity, and the survival isn't framed as a victory? A Hollywood movie could never pull that off.

    New Review! SOCIETY OF THE SNOW tells the story of the 1972 Uruguayan plane crash in the Andes Mountains, previously documented in the 1993 American film ALIVE. This is a much, much better film and, admittedly, not for the faint of heart and now on Netflix. www.shouldiseeit.net/reviews/2024...

    Today's final note. I watched Society of the Snow two days ago, and it hasn't left my mind since. It has to be the best film I've seen in a long time. I knew about the Andes flight disaster since I was a child... it is not about the cannibalism that took place. It's about strength in friendship.

    My picks for 3 fave stories focussed on cannibalism would probs be Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' (book & film), the film 'Bones & All' and the documentary film 'Society of the Snow'. Though the 'Hannibal' TV show and 'Fresh' movie were also strong contenders. #MorbidImagining

    Not horror in the classic sense but the one that’s been unable to leave my head since I’ve watched it is actually Society of the Snow. Most folks are familiar with the (true) story, but the film brings it to life in such a visceral way. It’s absolutely chilling (pun intended I guess)

    Society of the Snow was a gut wrenching watch. I've seen the Ethan Hawke movie and went down a rabbit hole in the 90s but they managed to floor me with this one. I even heard it was made with the blessing and in collab with the survivors and their families. Great movie.

    Society of the Snow ★★★ Has many of the same virtues and issues as the previous film; 1993's Alive. While being in Spanish lends immediate verisimilitude, the film struggles (and never truly manages) to find a way to individualise its characters. Focus is scattered and no central figure emerges

    Society of the Snow Directed by J.A. Bayona; starring Enzo Vogrincic, Agustín Pardella, Matías Recalt, Tomas Wolf After their plane crashes in the Andes, the survivors must go to extremes lengths to stay alive. The script uses a clever angle that gives the story more emotional depth. Paired to an authentic cast, quality production and Bayona’s skillful direction, the film is a powerful and definite recreation of the event.
