Icebox Ratings & Reviews
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
The greatest strength of Icebox is that the filmmakers have decided, to their credit, to tell the story from the point of view of a 12-year-old Honduran refugee and with unquestionable sympathy and anger.

Swedish director Daniel Sawka has created a film as authentic and direct as a news report.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
To writer and director Daniel Sawka's credit, the film ends on a poignant note, but it's hard to find any hope in this story. Oscar's uncertain journey shows no sign of ever ending, not for the rest of his life. In that, "Icebox" chills.

Icebox is not a documentary. But it does have a spare, naturalistic and awkwardly acted style that helps sell its story, which goes only so far into the legal nuances or politics of the detainee crisis on the southern border.

The film is a political statement, to be sure, but more than that it's a personal story haunted by today's headlines.

Danielle Solzman
Set at a child detention center for the large majority of the film, Icebox is a film that should really hit a nerve with audiences.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Don't read the above as "Eat your vegetables; they're good for you." There is nothing leafy green about "Icebox."
