Atom User Reviews for Arctic
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.
A 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.
Ending sucked and wasn’t satisfactory enough
Glad their wasn't canabalism
Wanted it to not end so soon.
Metacritic
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.
