The Ice Storm: reviewed by Angela Hartwell Star rating **** out of 5 Set in the 1970's this story is based on two dysfunctional families. Benjamin Hood(Kevin Kline) is having an affair with his next door neighbour (Sigourney Weaver). Meanwhile his daughter Wendy(Christina Ricci) is exploring with the boys (lovely Elijah being one of them) and son Paul(Tobey Maguire) is trying to seduce a New York rich girl. As evening falls the rain is turning to ice and they are all finding out things about each other. Tragedy and intrigue make this film exciting and powerful to watch. Superbly acted by all the cast this film had me crying and laughing and is definitely worth a watch. Go watch it now!
