Against the Ice Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Against the Ice delivers all the delirious period drama thrills and survival horror angst that you could want from a movie with that title.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick's script smartly underplays the whole "hardass father figure gets his heart softened by guileless kid" dynamic, but Against the Ice struggles for something to replace it.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
The first half of the survival tale is engrossing and tense. The waiting around in the second with some questionable visual psychosis without the dread softens its overall impact.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Its great when an actors passion project is able to come to fruition in such a compelling way to others.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
It's a known fact that Mikkelsen and Iversen made it home, but "Against the Ice" doesn't succeed in making us feel anything when they do.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
This one is interesting because it plays out in a very particular way that actually has something to do with what's happening today.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
I do believe Against the Ice is a success insofar as its ability to memorialize these unsung heroes. The story itself just isn't quite as spellbinding as one may believe due to its familiarity and back-heavy construction.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
[A] handsome but plodding adventure movie.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
This is a potentially fascinating true story in which the pedestrian script and journeyman direction mislay the suspense - unless ropey CG polar bears give you a thrill.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
...Against the Ice is a film that never loses focus on its environment or its leads, balanced and thoughtful, it succeeds in ways I didnt expect.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
While it may lack the overall tension you might expect from a movie like this, the film still does a good job immersing you in its story and setting.
Decider
John Serba
Against the Ice is more thrilling than watching icicles form in your beard, and please take that as the faint praise it is.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
This tough epic of two lone explorers surviving in a brutal natural environment is surprisingly captivating.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
"There's authenticity and realism aplenty in this harrowing survival story."
Slashfilm
Danielle Ryan
Against the Ice is a gorgeous and grueling tale in need of a trim.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Aside from dragging briefly in spots, iAgainst the Ice/i is a worthy entry in the humans-versus-nature sub-genre of adventure movies.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A lumbering adventure film, told by the numbers, that is only average.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Against the Ice plods along with a matter-of-fact approach that feels cold and stale. The severity of the situation is never in doubt. But the film fails to snare the viewer with a compelling narrative.
Nuha Hassan (Medium)
Nuha Hassan
Many unforgettable moments of tension and deprivation will surely grip the audiences' attention. However, the slow and sloppy pacing ultimately makes the movie a bit shaky.
Paste Magazine
Aurora Amidon
If only a good cast was enough to salvage a plodding, tedious film from the snowy wreckage.
