White as Snow offers this intriguing mix of comedy and drama, a twist on the classic Snow White tale, which feels fresh yet familiar. The atmosphere is both whimsical and tense, really capturing Claire's plight under her stepmother’s oppressive rule. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow; there are moments of levity that are sharply contrasted by the darker themes of jealousy and betrayal. Fontaine’s direction shines through in the vibrant colors and expressive performances, especially from the lead, who brings a mix of innocence and resilience.
