Anne Fontaine's “White as Snow†is a modern-day take on female sexual empowerment that loosely borrows from Snow White's fairy tale. The film follows Claire, a young woman who discovers the power of her beauty over men and chooses to proactively pursue casual affairs with seven suitors. The jealous Maud (played by Isabelle Huppert) decides to have Claire kidnapped and killed, but the plan goes awry, and Claire escapes into the woods. There, she encounters a group of not-so-dwarf-like men who desire her, and she embraces their attention. The film attempts to poke fun at the traditional dance between men and women, with the men clumsily and insistently flirting with Claire, who holds the power of consent. However, the film's ill-timed message that insistent or clumsy flirting is not a chauvinist aggression is unsettling, especially in the context of the #MeToo movement. The envious Maud covets Claire's sexual power and desires to possess it. “White as Snow†is a confusing and off-putting film that fails to deliver a coherent story or message. Although Isabelle Huppert's performance as the scheming villainess is engaging, the film's tenuous connection to the Snow White fairy tale distracts from the story's intent. The film's attempt at female sexual empowerment feels shallow and even regressive, especially with the concerning message about flirting and harassment.
