Reception

Released on DVD on March 31, 2009, Winter of Frozen Dreams got reviewed by DVD Talk who stated that "[the film] suffers from that most severe of cinematic situations. It wastes opportunities and does its real life saga no favors".[2]

John Marrone of Bloody Disgusting wrote "While it sure is watchable and no less worse than the prime time crap you find on the three TV major stations during the week, it leaves you very confused".[3]
