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 May 1, 2009 Full Review Andrew Grant 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 May 1, 2009 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety In this painstaking, body-numbing work, finding one perfect leaf fossil is a palpable thrill. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Matthew Nestel Boxoffice Magazine The payoff is relative and internal. Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru An intriguing, focused and often captivating documentary filled with stunningly beautiful cinematography of the Antarctic landscape. Rated: 7.85/10 Apr 30, 2009 Full Review Brian Miller Seattle Weekly Global warming is the subtext, I suppose, but Anne Aghion's film is really about the gritty, quotidian nature of science.
