Jason Di Rosso MovieTime, ABC Radio National It's not a bad film, but it doesn't have the dimensions to hit some of the deeper emotional notes. Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Rhiannon Sawyer FILMINK (Australia) The performances are uniformly excellent, particularly from the women.... Jan 14, 2009 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 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 Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net 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.

hamid reza g "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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Yllättävän hyvä kotimainen leffa, iso (y) varsinkin leffan hyville naisnäytteliöille. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not My Cuppa Tea, But Has Its Merits For Those Whom Love Their Stories Effd-Up. Hell Has No Fury Like A Woman Scorned. I Felt Near The End The Story Became Too Dark & Began To Cross That Thin Line Between Tragedy & Comedy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review flixster f An average psychological drama about love and betrayal. 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A powerfully dark love triangle for the ages--A slippery and intense drama!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member despite the last ten minutes the movie was good Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
