Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Asian American director Ang Lee sums up America in the early 1970s by focusing on the arrival of the sexual revolution in the 'burbs. Isolationism within a family, consumerism, and selfishness are personified by a cast that captures the self-obsession within two New England families. As the children struggle awkwardly with adolescence, their parents stumble through sexual experimentation. In the days of Watergate and Vietnam, society is breaking boundaries and ignoring convention. Following suit, these families are eschewing polite barriers and social taboos, with disastrous results. The "ice storm" of the title refers not only to a natural phenomenon but is a (rather heavy-handed) metaphor for a pervasive emotional temperament. The entire cast delivers textured, finely nuanced performances. This movie lingers in the psyche not only for the scope of the tragedy at its conclusion, but for Lee's often humorous and stingingly accurate assessment of pop culture. Based on Rick Moody's novel, this won the best-screenplay award at Cannes in 1997. --Rochelle O'Gorman

They mention Tobey Maguire, Spiderman, who is the narrater but there is also Christina Ricci who is very sexually active in this gets to at least second base a couple times and uses the line, "You show me yours and I'll show you mine" which back fires on her. She also does many things with Elijah Wood. He is caught by her father, who is having an affair with Elijah's movie mom. Elijah being on top of Christina, without nudity. Christina goes to bed with Elijah's brother, whom she wanted all along. ... Read More

Thanksgiving 1973, the Hoods and the Carvers live next door to each other in suburban New Canaan, Connecticut. The Watergate scandal is reaching its height, and the country is experiencing its own breakdown via open marriages, teen sexual experimentation and drugs. As the weather gets colder, the action among the characters heats up near to the boiling point.
Elena Hood (Joan Allen) is shoplifting cosmetics in the local pharmacy while her husband Ben (Kevin Kline) is having an affair ... Read More

1973 was a turbulent year.President Richard Nixon was watching his administration dissolve into scandal and the culture of the time saw marriages breaking up more rapidly,free love expanding from the hippies to the suburbs,people were reading all of the numerous "self-help" books flooding the market,drugs were becoming middle and upper class norms,children were "latch-key" kids,everyone went to an "analyst" and every taboo was being broken.What the '60's started, the '70's completed.THIS IS THE MATERIAL ...

All the people in it are upper middle class white people. They seem to me to be bored. Their kids seem to want to either lash out (like Christina Ricci character Wendy) or withdrawal like Mikey (Elijah Wood). The adults seemed bored with life and was looking for excitement like "key parties" (throwing car keys into a fish bowl where women pick them out. A form of "Swinging").
It stuck me as terribly sad. Perhaps our way of life in Western civilization brings about evil. Too comfortable for ... Read More

Before I add my own comments to this review, I first want to quote a review I read in some book for this film:
"This film is based on Rick Moody's novel about Thanksgiving 1973 in a middle-class New England family, with adolescent children fumbling with puberty while their parents flounder in the backwash of the sexual revolution. Though expertly made and well acted, the film's characters are uptight and repellent, and the story is bleak and oversymbolic. More to be admired than enjoyed."
