John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Keith Bearden's take on a teen-comedy model that always lives or dies by its stars' chemistry. Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Bill Bria Vague Visages ...the cold numbness of Antarctica perfectly encapsulates the constant physical and emotional hardship faced not just by the current teen generation, but girls in particular... Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta Although Antarctica deals with complex and sensitive issues -abortion, consent, sexual and physical violence at school- it does have a sense of humour.[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat Antarctica is a rare gem that stands as one of this year's best. Rated: 9/10 Dec 8, 2020 Full Review Petrana Radulovic Polygon The movie works best when director Keith Bearden plays up the weirdness and brings the characters together, but it'd be stronger if Kat and Janet's storylines shared more of a solid thread. Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT Surrounding the unlikable leads are some fun supporting characters. The movie is also funny and very creative. Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Norm M Really amazing coming of age story. Quirky and offbeat and delightful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review stephen b There are some moments of amusing absurdities that made it almost worth watching. It's just missed out any emotional connection with the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love smart comedy like this - you should watch this is you need a light intelligent laugh Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/21 Full Review Audience Member Funny, imaginative and charming low-budget teen girl movie. Especially loved seeing the guy from Office Space pop up as the clueless principal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very funny, very cool movie. It is great to see interesting, strong, female leads. Spread the word -- this is destined to be a cult classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was really enjoyable. The characters were quirky and original while still being very realistic and believable. The friendship between the two main young women characters was real, in all its loveliness and imperfection. The dialogue and script were both witty and smart and very current. My husband and I both enjoyed this film and we are mature adults. Refreshingly honest and sweet without being sappy or mundane. Very fresh and I wanted more at the end! Bravo!
