Centigrade -
The logic gaps are maddening. Why don’t they break a window immediately? How do their phones keep having battery for weeks? The dialogue is stiff, and the husband’s character is written as such a stubborn liability that you stop rooting for their survival.
The movie is 90 minutes of people arguing in a cramped Subaru. What could have been a claustrophobic masterpiece (think Buried but with icicles) becomes a repetitive cycle of: wake up, panic, try to dig out, fail, fight, cry, repeat. The pacing is glacial—pun intended. Centigrade
Rating: ⭐½ (2/5)
Centigrade is cold, slow, and ultimately forgettable. Stream it only if you need a cinematic sleeping aid. For a real chiller, watch The Revenant or Fargo instead. The logic gaps are maddening
If Centigrade wanted to prove that watching a couple freeze to death in a car is as tedious as it sounds, it succeeded. The film, directed by Brendan Walsh, takes a harrowing true story—a young couple trapped in their vehicle during a blizzard in Norway—and manages to suck every ounce of tension out of it. The dialogue is stiff, and the husband’s character
The title is a clever double-meaning (temperature + degrees of separation from safety), but the movie never warms up. Skip it.
