The Arctic Convoy is well-enough crafted on all levels to hold interest and maintain reasonable credibility, if not to make any distinctive impression.

Spectrum Culture

The Arctic Convoy is a throwback to World War II films popular when the conflict was still in progress that were designed to get audiences more invested in the war effort with their modestly scaled genre exercises. This is both a strength and a weakness.

Rated: 3/5

The Arctic Convoy works as a solid history lesson despite a few lulls and generic supporting characters. It achieves the goal of honoring civilian sailors who served valiantly at sea during World War II.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

“The Arctic Convoy” succeeds in sharing another little-known true story from the many still yet to be told from World War II. Strong performances and a character-driven focus adds some unexpected layers to this riveting, edge-of-your-seat nautical drama.

Rated: 4.5/5

The actors seem not to care very much. No ups or downs really. And they talk very fast, and low, quite often. They have the same face expressions through the whole movie.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A slack bunch. Not least the engineer. Never repairs anything. Has always plenty of time. Just stands around and mumbles. Like the rest of the movie. Both their voices and their activities are monotonous and dull. The movie is almost sleep-inducing in its form

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
