Jason Di Rosso MovieTime, ABC Radio National 01/16/2009
It's not a bad film, but it doesn't have the dimensions to hit some of the deeper emotional notes. Go to Full Review
Rhiannon Sawyer FILMINK (Australia) 01/14/2009
The performances are uniformly excellent, particularly from the women.... Go to Full Review
Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 01/09/2009
Excellent performances and assured direction serve to keep the story engaging and dramatic in Petri Kotwica's third feature, which won five Finnish Jussi (film industry) awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Script %u2013 and Best Actress for Ou Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net 03/24/2008
A showcase for Finnish acting talent and a significant step forward for Kotwica, though the closing reels of Musta J dilute its power as a psychological thriller in favour of plot twists more at home in a soap opera. Go to Full Review

hamid reza g 03/07/2023 "Black Ice" is a movie that deserves the name. A complex and multi-layered drama that investigates modern society and human relations in this society. Choosing a suitable metaphorical title and creating a good atmosphere of the movie is one of the key features of the movie. The weakness of the film, which reduces the impact and visual value of the film, is the inappropriate role of the soundtrack. The music of the film is added in most of the sequences and plays the role of negative filler. The characters are well-characterized and have a suitable job for the drama situation. I loved the movie and the only regret I have is the soundtrack. See more 03/01/2016 Yllättävän hyvä kotimainen leffa, iso (y) varsinkin leffan hyville naisnäytteliöille.

Unfortunately, they didn't focus enough on exploring emotions to its brink and developing chemistry between the characters. It rather swayed through the portions. There are some engaging moments, but they're few and far between. The performances were okay, but not great enough to make up for the movie's flaws. Besides, I thought maybe there's something in store for the ending, but that too turned out to be a a bummer. Yet, all in all, the movie falls under the "watch and forget" category. It's not bad, in fact, had they put in a bit more of effort, it had the potential to bag an Oscar............... JK.
