I felt like the movie did a better job of exposing Snow as an unreliable narrator because the audience could literally see his actions. I don't know how it would play if you haven't read the book, though - I found things really interesting, like how the narration tells us Tigris isn't pretty but they cast a really beautiful actress to play her.

And here is why it's my favorite adaptation, there's quite a lot to discuss about the movie vs the book, and the thing is IMO the movie isn't wrong, it just provides a different interpretation of Snow's character, which I'm quite glad for. Many adaptations tend to miss the point of the story, while this adaptation adds even more delightful discussion.

Tom Blyth is a wonderful actor who really conveyed Snow's internal struggles quite nicely on the screen. I'm not sure if the movie could have worked with a lesser actor.
