Arctic Ratings & Reviews
Eric Bakke
October 12, 2024
A desperate attempt for survival that is well played out.
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.
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.
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.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
"Arctic" is a film for all seasons.
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.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Arctic, a chilly and straightforward story of survival.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[Mikkelsen] brings a level of intense physicality that is coupled with a level of emotive sensitivity that's superb.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"Arctic" has the courage to avoid obvious payoffs.
