Reviews
Seems to be very little more than a blank slate on which to show to us that Mads Mikkelsen is a great actor, but like... We bin knew. _Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._
A fairly standard survival drama, though a very good one at that! <em>'Arctic'</em> is wonderfully acted out by Mads Mikkelsen, who is all alone (aside from a small role for María Thelma Smáradóttir) and rather mute all the way... but that doesn't take anything away from his strong performance. It's a competently made film in fairness, as it manages to set the scene perfectly and tells its story well - I was invested.
