The Ice Storm (1997)

Rate: 9
Viewed: 10/06

10/06: The Ice Storm has great performances and an excellent direction and is a beautiful film.

At first glance, it feels WASP-infested, but going along with the story, the movie gets darker and darker in a sexual way. Given the unimportant sex stuff, the true tragedy is everybody is suddenly reminded of the value of life and what living should be about.

Christina Ricci is one of the most underrated actresses in the business, and she deserves every accolade for her performance. Kevin Kline and Joan Allen are perfect.

All in all, Ang Lee gets the credit for making The Ice Storm a brilliant film.
