Arctic

Arctic

I'm a sucker for survivalist films, and a sucker for the great Mads Mikkelsen, so Arctic more than fit the bill. Of course it helps that It's also a solid film on it's own terms.

While it isn't particularly inventive in any sense, it's nonetheless elevated by rock solid direction, an almost impermeable sense of scope and confinement reinforced by the film's wide and hostile landscape, gorgeous cinematography, and a reliably committed performance from Mads Mikkelsen.

I don't think my heart has ever raced more than a scene revolving around a polar bear this year.
