Really amazing coming of age story. Quirky and offbeat and delightful.

There are some moments of amusing absurdities that made it almost worth watching. It's just missed out any emotional connection with the story.

Funny, imaginative and charming low-budget teen girl movie. Especially loved seeing the guy from Office Space pop up as the clueless principal.

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!

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!

Keith Bearden's take on a teen-comedy model that always lives or dies by its stars' chemistry.

...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...

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]

Antarctica is a rare gem that stands as one of this year's best.

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.

Surrounding the unlikable leads are some fun supporting characters. The movie is also funny and very creative.
