the ice storm (1997)


"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."
The suburban lives of two Connecticut families in the turmoil of thanksgiving 1973. The Hood's are a family in crisis with father Benjamin (Kevin Kline) having an affair with Janey Carver (Sigourney Weaver), who is a lot more casual about it than he is. Meanwhile their children are lost amidst the coming storm, metaphorically.
Stella cast of young talent (Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood), and a beautifully laid back script allows the events to slowly unfold.
