Reception
The film received a mixed review. RTÉ's Alan Corr noted that while the film features strong performances, particularly from Jane McGrath as Alice and Killian Scott as Jimmy, it "never really shifts out of second gear." Corr highlighted the film's attempt to intertwine a forbidden romance with broader themes of economic decline and corruption but felt it lacked visual appeal, stating that "there is not much to recommend visually about Black Ice."[5]
