Not sure if this was scripted or if they just left Mads Mikkelsen alone in the arctic and told him to act naturally.

sofyanMay 12, 2018It doesn’t take long for Joe Penna’s “Arctic” to establish itself as one of the best movies ever made about a man stranded in the wilderness. In fact, there’s a small but crystalline moment in the first act (some 15 or 20 minutes in, maybe) when this hellishly cold portrait…

kaylaApr 25, 2019Luckily there's almost no dialogue in this so you don't have to hear people constantly mispronouncing it as "artic."

the snow: *not melting away in Mads' presence* that woman's wounds: *not immediately healing when she saw Mads* me: is this...is this sci-fi?! the fish: *allowing Mads to catch them* that polar bear: *trying to get to Mads to snuggle, I presume* me: gosh, animals are…
𝚮𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖊𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖓𝖆𝖉𝖊 🙏🏻Feb 4, 2019Brutal. Arctic’s greatest strength is its realism: the survivors aren’t superpowered beings who can overcome anything or sleep in the corpse of a bison, but rather normal people, and it sucks us into the ice-cold world the film presents us with. There’s no tragic backstory,…

I can tell you this, if you’ve come here looking for exciting action, your in the wrong place. While it does have a lack of huge thrill, it still manages to be an exciting survival drama in the long run. Mads Mikkelson manages to turn a simple script into a great film. 8.2/10
andy lovedArcticChilling narrative with beautifully simple scenery that forces you to focus on Mads and drives the story home. Mads’ acting is superb in the emotions conveyed in a film with little dialogue. A realistic, and all the more emotional for it, story about survival.
April J is "meh" onArcticSo it was interesting to a point. The end was lack luster and how he began where he was in the start of the movie was never explained other than it’s assumed he crash landed there. I love the actor. He did a fine job. The script needed more.

Camila martinez likedArcticSurprisingly i enjoyed the “no back story” and very little dialogue, just pure survival. That ending almost had me tho, so glad they did get saved even if we didnt see it
Kyle Hagerman is "meh" onArcticIt was decent until the end, really drags you along all the way until the end and then just really doesn’t finish the story. Ridiculous in my opinion
PeeJay Taylor likedArcticI appreciate the movie and I love Mads Mikkelson, but it was a slog. Watch Never Cry Wolf for a fantastic movie set in the freezing cold.

eher ruhig , manche sagen spannend und aufregend rather quiet, some say exciting and thrilling

This is one remarkable film. I recommend that everyone see it regardless of how old you are, what your background is, what your interests are. It is smart, creative, incredibly well done all the way to the end of the movie.
DFDon FaulknerA great movie. The cinematography was stupendous. The acting was so believable that several times I found myself holding my breath or almost yelling out loud with surprise or coming close to tears.
MHMandy HillEnding sucked and wasn’t satisfactory enough

This film is definitely the Mads Mikkelsen show, and it is one of his most powerful, emotive performances to date.

Somehow, despite that minimalistic approach, we are emotionally swept up in Overgård’s desperate fight to stay alive.

The simplicity of the film is commendable, but it’s only in the last act where things finally come together and any kind of visceral thrills arrive far too late. Even Mikkelson’s on-screen talents can’t save an admirable yet stagnant film in dire need of a heartbeat.
