  Review by Logan Kenny ★★★★ 1

  thought this was going to be a indie romance movie with beautiful performances and dedication to characters and their relationships with each other over any sort of narrative. but nope, i got a movie with talking polar bears, weird diversions into horror, an imaginary stalker, burning military bases, dane dehaan fucking aggressively on a table and the embodiment of god himself. what a time to be alive

  Review by Boy Roarbison [fka Nag Champion] ★★★

  Dane DeHaan: "I can talk to bears, okay? Just deal with it."
  Orphan Black: "Okay, whatever, wanna bang it out?"
  Polar Bear: "God is a fallacy. Existence is contextual. Gaze into the mirror of the third sun."

  Review by The Armando Jimenez ★★★★ 2

  Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust. But it can also feel, or be exhibited, or misinterpreted as a test, a chore, a fling, lust, or most of all it can also be TOXIC.

  Review by James Healey ½ 5

  Nguyen is probably one of the most untalented screenwriters working in this industry because there is literally no first act. A bunch of nothing happens and then these characters we know nothing about get into the most melodramatic bullshit fight and we're expected to care about them? All while having cringey pseudo-intellectual word vomit dialogue. Fuck that. Not even a talking polar bear who's a god can save this abominable shit show. I'm insulted that something THIS bad played at Cannes.

  Review by Mariana Simas ★★★

  É meio um ''Before Midnight'' só que excessivamente gélido e sombrio. Tem um toque meio fantasioso, devido aos acontecimentos que se sucederão. Desde 2016 há filmes de ursos excêntricos e nada convencionais, ou seja, ''Cocaine Bear'', talvez não seja algo tão original assim...

  Review by Claire ★★★★ 2

  A surrealist vision. A reoccurring nightmare of juvenile traumas. 
  A romance with elements of horror consisting of a union that felt ever so warm interwoven into a icy blast injection of cold air & bleakness. 

  I must say this took a moment for me to get into..but once i did it really didn’t let go for a minute!

  I’m not a massive “romance” film fan but this definitely connected with me. 
  Tatiana was an absolute babe (of course :) ) & Dane was equally fabulous!

  A suspenseful “snow trip” across the North Pole that isn’t going to be for everyone .. it has a slight sci-fi edge curtesy of a cutesy deep voiced white fluffy beast, & it may leave you (it did me) lingering in your thoughts for a while after the credits roll.

  Review by MelissaMay ★★★½

  my cousin and i have a theory that if you came downstairs when we were watching this movie you would have just seen us sitting on the floor looking at a blank tv screen, because there is no way this movie is real. somehow we hallucinated the same exact "movie" and i want to know why.

  Review by Jackie ½ 2

  reasons I watched this movie:

  -I was intrigued by the title 
  -tatiana maslany

  reasons I enjoyed this movie:
  -tatiana maslany?? but like, barely?????

  a major plot point was that dane dehaan could talk to polar bears and like everyone was just chill with that. no explanation. 

  I'm so mad

  Review by Jon G ★★★½ 2

  It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here... I’ve spent some time watching ***whispered voice*** tele-vis-ion.
  (Still don’t understand why Collateral and Pretty Little lies have Letterboxd entries but Dogs of Berlin doesn’t)

  Maslany and DeHaan have some fans so, unlike most Canadian movies, this one has been seen by some people but not many. 

  It is a hard movie to describe; on one level the official tag line is true, it is a romantic drama set in the Canadian Sub-Arctic. But that is only one aspect of it. Despite the matter-of-fact filming style (you don’t need tricks to create gorgeous shots in this environment) there are slight magic realism touches at various points. It is a kind of modern…
