Very well executed
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I watched this movie with no preconceived notions and very little knowledge of the plot. I mention this because I believe it contributed to my ultimately finding it to be a very good movie, especially for what I imagine was a very low budget film. Not really sure why other reviewers were so negative about this movie. While it was not a big budget feast for the eyes jammed packed with stars, it was an interesting movie that was different enough from the majority of films being produced to make it every watchable. Where I think this film really excelled was engaging the audience in the emotions of the characters. I found myself identifying with everything the main character was going through, which for me is indicative of successful storytelling. I may be being overly generous with my rating, but that's only because I don't want people to pass on seeing it because of what I would consider to be unfair reviews.If you are going to see The Frozen, do yourself a favor by not reading any spoilers or synopses. Going into the film with an open mind will make it more worth your time.
Right off I knew that there was conflict between the woman and her man. She was distant and the man was trying to energize the situation somehow. The reason for the conflict is revealed a few minutes into the movie and ties in later especially at the end. The scenery was not spectacular although I live near the mountains so I might be spoiled. However, the setting was just right for this kind of movie It did not need to be spectacular; it needed to fit the plot and. I believe it did. The female lead is not a likable person and this works well with the plot as things change. There is a French or Swiss movie I saw several years ago and I believe writer of The Frozen has seen this movie. They are similar but sufficiently different. I liked them both which proved to me that variations on a theme can be successful. Don't expect to be horrified or bloody freaked out. It won't happen. Go with the flow and you might find yourself satisfied at the conclusion. The acting worked for me. Obviously, others do not agree with my assessment but hey, that's life.I am partially deaf so I watch movies with the captioning. Therefore, my experience is likely different from those who can hear well. I miss the vocal nuances and pick up on other physical queues.
Interesting premise and a one liner story stretched into 1.5 hours of annoying movie.Honestly what were the makers thinking when they made this one? This has to be one of the most purposeless movies ever made. I m a big thriller/horror fan. But the intended thrills here were plain irritating.****SPOILERS AHEAD***A pregnant girl and her boyfriend's adventurous camping trip in snow goes awry when they meet a snowmobile accident. The boyfriend goes missing and the girl makes very lame attempts at getting out of the situation. Strange things keep happening. A mysterious gunman keeps appearing at random and doesn't say a word. Adding to your annoyance and making you hate this movie even more. The performances are in sync with the movie, BAD!!The "supposed" suspense/twist in the climax is plain lame. Avoid this one at all costs.
It takes a great actor to hold their own for so long. Acting seemed believable. Holding the tension throughout was good. Great ending and symbol of the red marker at end. It was a gamble to have couple breaking up than in love for emotional appeal...but it gave a sense of reality not tear some movie formula. Holding the tension then explaining at end what was happening made the supernatural understandable and governed under its specific laws. The change of mind over her condition redeems herself. Also liked how she steps up to take charge and how she uses something of the vehicle was good thinking. The not understandings of events is explained and tied in a worthy knot. Thought of Castaway with Tom Hanks and female in first Blair Witch. I am having my movie Crematory begin production 2014 and love to have her play the main character.
