Review of The Ice Storm (1997) by Jonathan Rosenbaum for Chicago Reader — 16 May 2010
The tragic and highly "symbolic" death toward the end, which is supposed to illustrate the sins of the parents being visited upon their children, barely resonates at all, because most of the insights are strictly incidental.
The film elicits guilty, lascivious chuckles, not analysis.
