David Edelstein says “Snow White and the Huntsman is not your father’s Snow White, and more to the point not your Uncle Walt’s. It’s definitively anti-Disney, bleak and brutal, rife with starving peasants, the tone close to Game of Thrones, with a stepmother queen played by Charlize Theron who literally sucks the youth out of female prisoners in an attempt to keep wrinkles at bay.”
