Frozen is full of clichés from head to toe and is a generic American survival film about three young people who are stuck in the middle of a ski slope on a cable car. There's like three floors of open space below them and hungry wolves decide to make a picnic out of the unfortunates. I felt a certain amount of untapped potential, which is a shame, because even though I believed everything and sympathized with the characters in their plight, I still think more could have been wrung out of it. In the end, it's a slightly predictable thriller with a likeable leading trio that thankfully doesn't fade from your mind during the closing credits.

An intense survival drama. The premise of a trio of skiers trapped in a funicular describes the entire film, leaving hardly any room for storytelling tricks. With less likeable characters, Frozen could easily be very bad, but fortunately, the casting of the main trio is excellent. Their efforts to save themselves do not cause any intellectual outrage (though I’ve actually read the opposite) and the dialogues move between the bearable and the entertaining, I’m satisfied. 7/10

Lots of solid characters and an impressive starting point. Well-combined perspective changes. A very nice scene where the characters look away from the brutal scene below them and the camera only captures their faces, with the only clue to what's going on below being the disgusting sound. Someone was thinking here. Towards the end it is a little too long, but in this rank it is a well-built and well-shot intimate film. Yeah... but they could have at least used CGI for the steam from their mouths.

An adolescent existential drama that is neither as dumb nor as B-movie-ish as you might expect. Without a sophisticated screenplay and in the space of two square meters, it still manages to impress and engage the viewer, because it is believable, the portrayal of the characters is natural, their behavior is realistic and the suspenseful scenes (one of which is actually quite cruel) are well balanced with the dialogue scenes. I’m giving Frozen four stars for the good feeling I get from supporting a small, unobtrusive film that deserves it.

It's about the characters. These guys may be assholes sometimes, but they’re still people. It’s simple and impactful as hell, but unfortunately also quite long considering the subject matter. In the finale, it's a bit "frozen" after all.
