The RT Critics Consensus for the film reads, “ Snow White is hardly a grumpy time at the movies thanks to Rachel Zegler’s luminous star turn, but its bashful treatment of the source material along with some dopey stylistic choices won’t make everyone happy, either.” Forbes Hannah John-Kamen On Rematerializing As Ghost In ‘Thunderbolts*’ By Tim Lammers Snow White did, however, have more of a positive reception by audiences on RT , as the film earned a 72% “fresh” Popcornmeter score based on 2,500-plus verified user ratings.
