What critics compared Centigrade to
That’s why similar or relatable films like Buried and Locke, while focusing on only one person and close-ups for 90-minutes, could have never come together otherwise.
Sometimes these movies focus on a single character, as in 127 Hours , Buried , or All Is Lost , and sometimes they focus on a duo or a group, such as 47 Meters Down , the original Frozen (not the Disney film), or Devil .
Parallels will definitely be drawn between Brendan Walsh’s feature film with two other claustrophobic titles, both from 2010 — Buried, or where Deadpool must make videos to get out of a wooden coffin, and Frozen, or where “let it go” is a no-no for three youngsters stuck on a ski lift.
Other films—like Buried or Frozen (no, not that Frozen), both from 2010—have had similar feels to Centigrade, combining close quarters with a battle against the elements.
Anyone hoping for the narrative twists of something like the 2010 Ryan Reynolds thriller Buried are likely to be sorely disappointed.
