Snowdrops and Aces

As much as I don't like Czech films starring teenagers, this was very good. Duchoslav, Kopta and Suchánek look very natural and funny when they play cards for their dream girl, and so does Radoslav Brzobohatý, who as a teacher and the girl's father gives them nothing for free. And finally, the bickering with alcohol is like real life, one of my classmates could tell a story or two :-) (24/08/2012)

It’s only half a comedy, and especially the second half is a fairly apt and bitter drama, which surprisingly holds up when compared to the happier aspects of the film. The excellent atmosphere, the well-spoken style of speech (most of today's films can only wish they had it) and the excellent acting of the teenagers are worthy of praise. I feel like the older I get, the less I laugh at this movie... and that’s not a complaint. (01/01/2006)

I should have simply seen this movie when I was about twelve to fifteen years old. I would definitely enjoy it more than I do now. Some scenes and especially the dialogues are truly unique, but John and Smyczek did the best job capturing the whole atmosphere of the class and one trip. The sequel after 25 years cannot be compared to the original. (10/02/2015)

A purely generational and genre film. Or those who never almost died on the slopes haven’t experienced anything. Even so, I doubt the existence of a "cult" because, before the media massage after 25 (26) years, I lived quite happily without this winter farce. (03/03/2009)
