Brutal and breathtaking.

What are critics saying?
CineVue by Christopher Machell
Iceman’s violence and viscera is satisfying in its immediacy, and Randau’s singular focus is certainly admirable. It’s just a pity that any nuance in the fine line between humanity and savagery is lost among all the hacking and slashing.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Randau’s script, though, is an implacable plod from one bashing to another.
The film is so realistic and remote from any modern reality that you will never once imagine a catering truck parked nearby or makeup mirror for the actors to check their wounds.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
Marked by stunning locations and Jakub Bejnarowicz’s fleet, evocative cinematography, Iceman is almost like something unearthed itself: a recognizable B western sharpened as much by its glints of psychology as by its kinetic savagery.
The Observer (UK) by Simran Hans
The tone flits between revenge thriller and against-the-elements survival movie, but commits to neither.
