Cold Fever Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Finely tuned English speaking comical road movie set in Iceland.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
If Cold Fever takes too long to come into focus to be fully satisfying, it nonetheless has an undeniably endearing quality. It also looks great and has a driving, eclectic music track.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Strange, often funny, and occasionally beautiful.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Like Iceland itself, Cold Fever may seem a trip most audiences initially will reject -- as too distant, too strange, too icebound. They're wrong. Once seen, this cold, feverish wonderland is never forgotten.
New York Daily News
Dave Kehr
The film has an engagingly hip sensibility that never descends into snobbery and an underlying seriousness that lends a touch of poetry to the self-consciously bizarre proceedings.
Variety
Derek Elley
An out-there, sometimes wacky, often mystical road movie about a lone Japanese journeyingacross Iceland to perform a family ritual.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Far from being a random sequence of oddball occurrences, Cold Fever, under its jokey surface, has a steady allegorical resonance.
TV Guide
Cold Fever feels like a Jim Jarmusch road movie transplanted to the frozen north.
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
I suppose its quirkiness is a little formulaic (an American outlaw and his girlfriend run from the Iceland police) and its production value is pretty low, but the scenery is great, [and] the story isn't something you'll see every day.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An fascinating film that is both a valentine to the charms of Iceland and a flinty meditation on a young man's quest to bestow a blessing on the parents he took for granted.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Cold Fever serves a useful function right there: It shows an Icelandic winter close up, and it's a lot more fascinating than you might expect.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
An odd and beautiful film about a pilgrimage to a desolate land.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
A likable if somewhat unoriginal road picture.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Cold Fever is thoroughly quirky and unusual, and one-hundred-percent experiential. You've got to sweat it out in order to get to the other side.
