Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesWhen a lot of you tell me you want intelligent movies made by adults for adults, you're asking for movies like this one.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 10/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffRamis gives this twisted thriller the grim irony Quentin Tarantino and his followers boast of, but don't understand.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekSmart rather than smart-alecky, it captures the gleefully cynical tone of its models while adding a strain of grim humor that never degenerates into campy spoof.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe Ice Harvest isn't a subversive piece of work; it's not making some grand statement about the dark side of the holiday spirit. But what it IS saying in its grimly funny way is that we can't always control the timing of our disasters.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonA great cast, a script by Oscar-winning veteran Robert Benton, with Richard Russo, and direction by Harold Ramis still don't add up to much more than a shrug.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Daniel EaganRamis proves here that he can dish sleaze as well as any B-movie director. Why he would want to is the biggest mystery surrounding The Ice Harvest.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasA droll, dark Christmas treat for adults, a delightful alternative to the usual holiday-themed fare.
Village Voice - 8/10 by J. HobermanFrom the cast and location to the attitude and premise, many things in The Ice Harvest are inescapably reminiscent of the Coen brothers. But as a director, Ramis is far less flashy and not nearly as pleased with himself. This is one of the most sustained movies of the year, as classic in its structure as "Double Indemnity" or "No Exit."
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickThornton is in great form as the sardonic Vic, whose disposal of an apparently dead body in a trunk is a hilarious set piece.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Keith PhippsRamis is at his best when dealing with men facing a soul-defining crisis, and he finds plenty to work with in Russo and Benton's script, which offers Russo's trademark blend of colorful characters and slow-building dilemmas. The Ice Harvest finds them all operating in top form in as dark a territory as they've ever explored.
