"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

4/4
"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

5/10
"A little too slow for my own jive."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"Disturbing and discomfiting, The Ice Storm is a slice of lonely, desperate reality that I hope I never visit."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

5/5
"A rich and elegant drama."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves
