Good movie. Great story.Hoping to see more movies like this in future. "To save our mother land,the only remedy is socialism"-something to think more..Actually i like this movie.Good job gyzz.

The Frozen Fire has attracted everyone regardless of the age, ethnicity or the political party they're attached to. This isn't a film about JVP but it educates you on the movement. It's unbelievable how the whole audience is moved and almost takes part in the film. And we're fortunate that after many years Sri Lankan cinema has been successful in reaching a standard that it had never had before in the cinematic history of 70+ years. Excellent!!!

Without a doubt, this is a great film. It successfully deviates from the "glorified history" films to a much more personal struggle. But did it live upto it's hype? Well, that's a big question mark. Although most of the departments were successful, it seems that the creators accidentally did some obvious mistakes. For instance, the dialogues were too artificial. Some of which were cringe inducing. There were some unneesesary fade outs and the start could have been different. It seems that the production was done in a hurry. And also it must be said that the last 30 minutes and the ending did a prominent part in overshadowing those mistakes. And lastly; Was I satisfied with the film? Partially. Should you watch this? Absolutely.

Without a doubt one of the Best Biographical Movies made in Sri Lankan Movie history. Acting, Directing, Music, cinematography & The Story was good. No Wonder It got nominated for Oscars 2019. Many people may find this movie irritating or misleading based on their political view. But for a Movie fan, This is Just a quality 2 & half hours of cinematography Well done. Hope to see this type of great movies in the fututre, where the director & the crew has shown great commitment & creativity rather than the boring history type movies that are made on the sole intention of earning money. Hope This film is the turning point! Not the best biographical movie ever, but for sri lankan standards these days, exceeds expectations big time.

The movie depicts the reformation of Peoples Liberation Front (JVP) after the first attempted toppling of government by the activists and how there democratic movement (Nominal) went from pro-election to revolutionary with the intervention of the Indian forces in suppressing the LTTE. The movie specifically addresses how the JVP were forced to choose the violent path. It is arguable and mostly true that the adversities done by the JVP on the government servants (Especially security forces) as well as ruling party (United National Party) has been addressed quite less than what really happened. This sugar coating on the JVP overshadows the violence by them. It might be due to the way the movie has been formed; which is highlighting the life of Rohana Wijeweera. The movie is a great source to understand the recent bloodshed history of Sri Lanka and how socialism tried to engulf the country.
