In the end, this film is an enjoyable one, but it may be a little too hip for its own good."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Everyone is uptight, on the verge of breakdown, shrill and too aware of their various audiences. The film captures this sense of 'verge-ness' perfectly."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 4/4 "One of the best films I've seen."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes B "To be admired for its icy observations of suburban life."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/10 "A quarter of a century ago, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver dealt with the same issues more successfully."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov 4/4 "The Ice Storm is perceptive about people, relationships, and human nature, and there's not a single moment in the entire 112 minute running length that rings false."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Lee infuses the film with just enough humor to keep it from becoming unremittingly bleak, but the overall impact is harsh and caustic."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "This is a cold and calculating film that will temporarily dampen those fond memories of everything we cherish from two decades back."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "A little too slow for my own jive."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/4 "Damn, is this film great!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/4 "Beautifully acted, refreshingly un-camp in its take on wide lapels and progressive rock and occasionally coolly moving. It's just that ultimately, there's less here than meets the eye."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Disturbing and discomfiting, The Ice Storm is a slice of lonely, desperate reality that I hope I never visit."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "Beautifully nuanced, passionately performed, and terrifically realized piece of work."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 5/5 "A rich and elegant drama."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B- "Ang Lee is a terrific filmmaker, but his usually upbeat directing style is stilted by the angst It's a well crafted, but, ultimately, negative-feeling movie."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/4 "The Ice Storm is so life-like and real that if the settings were modernized, it would still be topical today."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1
