An immersive and entertaining act of cinematic speculation, albeit limited by its simplistic plotting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 9, 2024

A spectacular and very believable... adventure and survival film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2020

The underlying simplicity of ICEMAN is both a blessing and a hindrance. Felix Randau, however, does some stunning work. We may not understand the language, but we can feel every blow and chill and be captivated by the excellent visuals, words be damned.

A visually striking film about horrific acts, and while atypical in setting it's also a satisfyingly familiar tale of revenge.

| Apr 13, 2019

One can imagine Richard Harris or Charlton Heston in the role, but without any star power, Vogel does quite nicely.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2019

"Iceman" is almost like something unearthed itself: a recognizable B western sharpened as much by its glints of psychology as by its kinetic savagery.

| Mar 14, 2019

We can... easily follow the unsubtitled narrative. Less clear is why the German filmmaker Felix Randau would have the imaginative idea of reconstructing the possible final days of Europe's best-preserved mummy, only to give him such a basic plot.

| Mar 14, 2019

The progression of the plot and the spectacular changing landscapes hold the interest, as does Randau's relentlessly inventive direction.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 13, 2019

A striking combination of revenge drama and speculative archaeology.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Simple can be powerful. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2019

It 's always risky to make films set in prehistoric times... but the German director overcomes the first obstacle using only a version of the Rhaetian language, the dead language from the region of Italy where Ötzi was found. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2019

And although its virtues are more concentrated in the details than in the whole, it is enjoyed by the importance of the unknown. [Full Review in Spanish]

Directed by Felix Randau, Iceman doesn't say anything that America's bleakest westerns haven't said before, but it remains thrilling as a work of pure cinema.

| Nov 30, 2018

Iceman is a primal tale of loss and revenge which has been echoed throughout the ages.

| Oct 31, 2018

The violence on display throughout the film certainly proves compelling, though it is thematically slight.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 31, 2018

The tone flits between revenge thriller and against-the-elements survival movie, but commits to neither.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 29, 2018

It's a reasonably engaging movie, but based on very familiar filmic archetypes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2018

Wide mountain vistas and claims of painstaking authenticity fail to disguise the dopey genre underpinnings of this overfamiliar rape-and-revenge drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2018

It's not as exciting as the premise suggests - but fair play for trying something different.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2018

Iceman is an ambitious undertaking, if a little underwhelming in its execution.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 26, 2018
