Review of The Big Chill (1983) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 18 Apr 1997
The Big Chill is a splendid technical exercise. It has all the right moves. It knows all the right words. Its characters have all the right clothes, expressions, fears, lusts and ambitions. But there's no payoff and it doesn't lead anywhere.
I thought at first that was a weakness of the movie. There also is the possibility that it's the movie's message.
