The Ice Storm (1997)
7/10
"Strange" is not always a negative word.
6 November 1999
This movie is, without a doubt, the strangest movie I have ever seen in my life. I think it is a great movie, but I had to see it a few more times to get it.

Kevin Kline, one of my favorite actors, leads the outstanding cast of this movie. In my opinion, Kevin Kline's character is as close to normal as you see in this movie.

The child sexuality should not really be labeled obscene. It is not erotic, and no child nudity is displayed.

The main idea The Ice Storm suggests is the fact that everybody is a "psycho", and the people that are not "psycho" do not care about the ones who are "psycho". Ben Hood (Kevin Kline) even states, "I don't even care that much."

It's one of Kevin Kline's best, and he is followed by an incredible cast. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys the "meaninglessness of life" theme, and I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys the challenge of interpreting a hard movie.
