This article contains major Society of the Snow spoilers.
It’s the twist that makes or breaks Society of the Snow for viewers. Like the famous Hollywood version of this true story of survival in the face of unimaginable catastrophe, Society of the Snow is narrated by a fictionalized version of one of the young men who endured it. The real-life Numa Turcatti boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on Oct. 13, 1972; he would survive a nightmarish plane crash that left him and members of the Old Christians Rugby Club stranded at the top of the world; and he would face the unimaginable choice of eating from the human dead.
Yet as J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow goes along, a slowly spiritual bent unfurls. We are first clued into this by Numa (who is played by Enzo Vogrincic in the film) musing over the existential and philosophical implications of their plight.

Newly arrived on Netflix after a brief theatrical run, is director and co-writer J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow. The film recounts the tragic, but incredible, story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed on a remote mountain in the Andes during a routine flight between Uruguay and Chile. The flight was carrying a total of 45 passengers and crew, including the members of Uruguay’s Old Christians rugby club, plus assorted family and friends.
Some 16 people died either in the crash or its initial aftermath while 13 more perished during the more than two months in which the 29 initial survivors tried to stay alive in frigid temperatures with no food and a number of grave injuries. During that time—long after search-and-rescue missions were called off—the survivors resorted to eating the flesh of their dead companions to nourish themselves. Eventually, two...
