Review of The Ice Storm (1997) by Andy Klein for Dallas Observer — 14 Nov 2006
It's during the shift to seriousness that The Ice Storm makes its missteps. The intrusion of tragedy, while altogether believable, still seems like a device, a calculated tug at the heart strings. It is, in short, a once-effective ploy that now feels like a cliche.
A near-miss might have been more effective.
