Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media This a Titanic reboot on ice, with the romantic ingenues far less fleshed out than they were in the famed tragic shipboard romance. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a tedious romance that has nothing to say and says it for a 130 minutes. Rated: C Jul 1, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider At best an empty, escapist, mostly guilty near-pleasure. Jun 18, 2021 Full Review Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba While it's overlong, occasionally nonsensical, and has a tin ear for humor, there's certainly enough in Silver Skates to entertain those for whom this sort of thing is their pop culture catnip. Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut It's always obvious where Silver Skates is going, but it gets there with enough style and energy that it's difficult to dislike, even if its icy surface is difficult to grip onto emotionally. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Dan L Lovely film! A bit like a story by Dickens. And an absolutely lovely romantic sequence when skating at night - with the music Clair de lune as perfect sound track. Very beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Moses M The critics are rating this based on their long-standing Russophobia. This is a solid film, interesting story, with spectacular set pieces. You’ll experience Saint Petersburg as I have. The film could have been trimmed a bit and tightened here and there. 4/5. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Harry N Don't believe the nay-sayers, the POS critics. It is well done and fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Glenn H Another movie that demonstrates that those self describing ‘experts' getting paid to review movies are pretty clueless most of the time. The audience review / score is the correct one here. Lavish sets, beautiful period scenario and a compelling and heart warming love story. Anna Karenina it aint but its a great film for those looking to be cheered up and entertained a little. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Susan W Dreamlike, original, relevant. A lovely movie to come out of Russia. The frozen-river scenes," made up most of the movie. Those skates are truly magical! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Evelina U Such a magical wintery scenery of St Petersburg! A must see for Christmas. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
