Ice Bar review

Family film? Or not a family film?

**May contain spoilers**

Ice Bar is a story about two boys on the their school break selling ice bars to make money. One is an orphan and dreams of buying nice, new shoes, while the other (the protagonist) wants to meet the father he was never told about by his mother.

I thought the incidental music was nice and contributed by giving the film an upbeat feel at times. The acting overall was rather good, considering the age of the two boys.

I wasn't quite sure that this film was meant for family viewing or for a more grown up audience. The posters certainly give the impression of the former, but some of the language and themes seemed otherwise. The slightly cheesy, happy ending also gave the impression of being meant for children and was probably the part of the film I liked least.

7/10
