Our take

Described by Steven Spielberg as “the precursor of many Hollywood masterpieces,” Jack Frost is a wonderfully strange adaptation of a Russian fairy tale. Its distinctive folklore, outrageous costumes, and peculiar humor make it an unusual and surprising watch, but a charming one nonetheless.
