Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's not an earth-shaking film, but it is an amusing and intelligent comedy of manners, and George Segal is fun to watch. Rated: 3/4 Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Harvey G. Cox Tempo (National Council of Churches) 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. Jan 7, 2021 Full Review Manny Farber Artforum It's curious how the imaginative texture of this conception is stuck to a stiff, unfulfilled script. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central One of the great-unheralded classics of the seventies. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 15, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member now i see where ang lee got the idea 4 the 'ice storm' about a 1970's house party Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Good performances in this tale of disaffection but it's downbeat. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Realistic look at life in suburban Fairfield County in the 1970s. The final scenes at the party are well worth waiting for. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member An all but forgotten, yet entirely worthy film about suburban morality. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Well acted and perceptively directed, the movie has a good feel to it and captures a nice feel to everyday life. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
