Leave your thoughts about Centigrade.
| PolygonRobert DanielsBrendan Walsh’s cold survivalist thriller, Centigrade, is a creatively crafted claustrophobic study of a fractured marriage. Strongly acted, the drama wallows in melancholy while presenting peaks of hope amid its simple icy setting. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandThe situation is dire, and while Centigrade eventually spins off into some well-worn tropes and predictable twists, the strength of its clever introduction keeps it pushing forward into a satisfying end. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBut if you like claustrophobic stories of survival, putting yourself in the winter shoes of our antagonists, it’s not bad. |
| The Film StageMichael FrankThough just under 90 minutes, the film falters with pacing. The story rarely progresses further than exchanged glances, lots of sleeping, and a few, tense, cold moments. The couple never looks to be in serious danger. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIf there’s an error, it’s the occasional atmospheric shots of the frigid mountains around the car. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoWorst of all, the pacing here is just off, leading to a film that drags even at 90 minutes. If the cold doesn’t kill you, the boredom will. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNeither tense nor thematically resonant enough to overcome its literally small-scale aspects, Centigrade proves as much an ordeal for its viewers as its characters. |
| The PlaylistAsher LubertoRather than focusing on the specific aspects that make the film unique, Centigrade turns into a mishmash of genres. |
| User ReviewNorthPeruvianCUtter Trash, unless you like pointless and ineffective talking inside of a snowed in car the entire movie. The car window is literally covered by a few inches of snow, but of course they act like complete idiots from beginning to end. |
| User Reviewtdillon2In a car, in the snow. Windows don't open and no attempt to break them. If he'd gotten out and put up some sort of banner maybe they'd be seen. If he'd get out during the day and be visible, maybe they'd have a chance. But no, they stay hidden under the white snow with nothing visible. They make a phone call and she just whines instead of using the prior 7-8 days to PLAN what to say if they got through. For example, '50 miles east of the hotel buried in snow in the car'. Geez, they could just cover the area with a metal detector and find them. Couldn't open the window... ok but why not break it before the snow hardens? They could easily use snow to cover up the window again if need be... but no. |
