Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
Nielsen's Renata is icy cold in her calculations, and an object lesson in how to play a lethal charmer plausibly without losing any of her erotic appeal. She alone is worth the price of admission.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

The comedy in The Ice Harvest comes in shades of dark and darker. That's my kind of humor.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
The Ice Harvest is like Sin City without the bold style and crooked smile, disgorging grisly bloodbaths without drawing artful things out of them.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
... a thriller that's not very thrilling but is as violent as the best of them.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
