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

It's a tedious romance that has nothing to say and says it for a 130 minutes.

Rated: C

At best an empty, escapist, mostly guilty near-pleasure.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!
