Review of Arctic (2018) by Compi24 — 26 Jun 2019
A wild candidate for most underrated film of 2019 has appeared and it comes in the form of first-time feature director (and YouTube star) Joe Penna's "Arctic," an incredibly simple, yet effective parable of survival, perseverance, and the limits of the human spirit.
Zipping into the heights of memorability on the wings of what I'd consider Mads Mikkelsen's finest performance as an actor, this amazingly well shot and thought-out film definitely tests the thresholds at which the audience can stand to see a character suffer.
It's an agonizing effort at times, but trust me when I say that the overall ride is more than worth it, not only proving the directorial talents of the first-timer in question, but the unmitigated effectiveness behind the KISS principle that he adheres to so brilliantly throughout the film's runtime.
