Antarctic researchers make a significant discovery about climate change.

Nathan Lee

New York Times

The film's hesitation, lack of rhetorical inflation and commitment to humble observation generate a tough poetry. Ice People sticks in the mind.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

With its lack of narration and subjective distance, the film is a uniquely meditative, psychological portrait of individuals who approach scientific exploration with the passion and fervor of artists.

Rated: 4/6

Seattle Weekly

Global warming is the subtext, I suppose, but Anne Aghion's film is really about the gritty, quotidian nature of science.
