Arctic Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
First-time feature director Joe Penna and his cowriter and editor Ryan Morrison skillfully exploit genre conventions, but suspense arises mostly from what fresh hells they devise for the hero to conquer, for conquer he must.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[Mikkelsen] brings a level of intense physicality that is coupled with a level of emotive sensitivity that's superb.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Arctic, a chilly and straightforward story of survival.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
This film makes for a compelling hour and a half; you know where it's going, but you never quite believe it'll actually get there.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Though the journey is well executed and the tension sustained, the obstacles are so familiar to the genre - inclement weather, tricky rock formations, grumpy bears - they can feel ordinary.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Arctic is a one-man showcase for the acting that we know Mads Mikkelsen is capable of. The film's power comes from his performance.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
"Arctic" is a film for all seasons.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
[N]ot once, not even for a moment, do we lose interest in Mikkelsen, or stop caring about what happens to him, or cease to believe him.
Observer
Oliver Jones
Arctic tells this story of self-reliance and survival with such austerity and absolute integrity that the results are breathtaking, even in the moments where the movie seems to amble forward at a glacial pace.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The movie really takes your mind off your own troubles. I liked it a lot.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"Arctic" is a lesson in lessness, coolly observed and warmly felt.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Arctic lacks what makes for the best movies of its ilk: it does not inspire much imagination concerning what our hero might do first if he does get back home.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
A fine reminder of how cinematic language can and should transcend the spoken word... a meticulous portrait of survival and human determination.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The simple yet intense scenario makes Arctic a taut, cohesive exercise for Penna and editor and co-writer Ryan Morrison. It's also a fine showcase for Mikkelsen, playing a man who's resourceful but no more heroic than he needs to be.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Though it's not anything new in terms of dramatic representation, in its solidly visceral execution - stressing a belief in filmmaking's basic tools of storytelling that's almost refreshing - it earns its place among the genre's stalwarts.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"Arctic" has the courage to avoid obvious payoffs.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Stirring cinematography by Tómas Örn Tómasson, who captures the film's stark Icelandic location with sweep and dazzle, plus an evocatively pensive, strings-heavy score by Joseph Trapanese, rounds out this enervating and exhilarating film.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film has a raw immediacy that can only be achieved when most cinematic excesses have been eliminated.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Mads Mikkelsen's virtuoso performance as a downed pilot trying to survive in the harshest of environments is the warm heart of this ice-cold killer of a movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
When the gamble is man vs. nature, the smart bet is almost always on the house. Unless the man is Mads Mikkelsen...
