Reception
Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote of the film: "If its pieces don't completely fit, The Ice Rink has sophisticated comic performances by a cast who know their characters well enough to make us like them in spite of their self-absorption."[3]

gollark: * wrong
gollark: Ah, it must be loading an omnidisk but doing it worng.

gollark: Okay, it should work if you run `upd --variant=gamma`.
