“I do not understand how this masterpiece can be so overlooked. I was terrified going into it as if it would turn cheesefest or whatever at any moment – hence the 5.7 stars. The rating in here is completely insane. All I really have to say: Go watch this gem for yourself. Youu0026#39;ll see. I mean, unless youu0026#39;re Donald Trump? Or Hitler? Or a close-minded supporter? I, honestly, have no idea whom else would dislike it, and I *rarely* say that.nAs someone who loves studying characters and story structure, this was incredibly pleasing. Itu0026#39;s complex, fast-paced, gritty and honest but with a great amount of heart. The fact that this is the reality for some people … itu0026#39;s mad. Iu0026#39;m speechless, and ashamed that I havenu0026#39;t thought more about what the whole immigrant situation was like, even though I knew it was bad. I guess it comes to show once again that movies do serve for more than entertainment – and with its authenticity and high quality-making, Icebox qualifies as one of those movies everybody could gain from.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eI guess there are some sort of minor flaw somewhere that I donu0026#39;t really care at all about?u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e+ Everything charactern++ Everything structuren+++ That court room-climax scene!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(do not recommend to: Trump, Hitleru0026#39;s ghost, Trump supporters and neo nazis, in all seriousness, do not recommend to people who expect light hearted material; read the synopsis though, and Iu0026#39;ll laugh if you think youu0026#39;re in for that)”
