REVIEWS:

It looks like a high-end National Geographic shoot, but visually it stays on the same note the entire time.

Albert Nuñez

It's a tragic reality.

Caleb Dubois

Lacks visual variety.

Marta Torres Serrano

Beautifully shot, but I expected more documentary depth about the glaciers, not just a performance.

Live Screenings Attendee

The cinematography is monumental. The visual of the cello against the vast, dying glaciers is unforgettable.

Live Screenings Attendee

The most beautiful thing I've seen all year. The cello performance in the cold is hauntingly perfect.

Ingrid Hansen

A meditative masterpiece. The cello and the ice speak a language that everyone can understand.

Mercedes Freire

Great cinematography of the North Pole.

Maria Rodriguez Garcia

Heartbreaking and beautiful. The music against the icy landscapes of Svalbard is unforgettable.
