Review of The Ice Storm (1997) by David P — 05 Sep 2009
It felt like Ang Lee was trying too hard to ground his film in 1970s America, with too many kitschy shots of toe socks or other period-referencing details. While the acting was excellent and the story of shifting sexual mores was interesting, the directing was at times heavy-handed.
Nonetheless, the story is compelling enough to warrant seeing, especially for fans of American Beauty and other tales of suburban family angst.
