Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 07/03/2018
3/4
It's not an earth-shaking film, but it is an amusing and intelligent comedy of manners, and George Segal is fun to watch. Go to Full Review Harvey G. Cox Tempo (National Council of Churches) 01/07/2021
The film skillfully puts all the dissonant notes in the melody, without making [the protagonist's] life seem unbelievable. In fact it is very believable indeed. Go to Full Review Manny Farber Artforum 10/03/2018
It's curious how the imaginative texture of this conception is stuck to a stiff, unfulfilled script. Go to Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central 07/15/2003
3.5/4
One of the great-unheralded classics of the seventies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

S R @ScottR Apr 1 A cynical NY take on a midlife crisis. It entertained despite its lack of values, depression, smoking, and alcoholism. A surprising cast for people I never thought I would see in these types of roles. I saw it since it was on the NYT 1000 movies list. SLC DVD. See more 08/20/2012 now i see where ang lee got the idea 4 the 'ice storm' about a 1970's house party See more 01/30/2012 Good performances in this tale of disaffection but it's downbeat. See more 09/23/2009 Sporadically successful tale of one man's mid-life crisis. Everything about this movie is pretty much just okay: the performances, cinematography, editing, plot elements. there are moments of deeper feeling that appear here and there through the movie, but they're bogged down by an eventually predictable device. See more 04/17/2009 Realistic look at life in suburban Fairfield County in the 1970s. The final scenes at the party are well worth waiting for. See more 04/17/2008 An all but forgotten, yet entirely worthy film about suburban morality. See more Read all reviews
