The Ice Storm

Our Review: 
Ang Lee (Eat Drink, Man Woman, Sense and Sensibility) is a master of the small gesture, the subtle shift, the telling detail. With his latest film, he accomplishes his usual magic and then some. Based on Rick Moody's acclaimed novel, this cold, hard examination of the vacuous '70s focuses on two upper-middle-class families and the price extracted from them for their self-centeredness. Employing an unusually harsh winter storm as its central metaphor, this picuture is powerful and moving with a flawless cast. A chilly antidote to action-movie overkill that should be the feel-bad hit of the season.
