This is a gratifyingly complex work. The swing time ethos' affect on adolescents is something not much addressed in film, but was well presented and represented in Ice Storm. Also well portrayed was the conflict in some adults between various commandments, the Seven Deadly Sins and the mores of the day. An interesting insert was the petty theft seen first with the daughter, then with the mom, the implication that the fruit falls not far from the tree carries over to the daughter's agressive sexuality, present in mom but appears more latent than blatant; also brought forcefully home is homily that 'nothing is free', with the deliterious effects of adult behaviour upon themselves and their children. Excellent film, not for everyone.
I bought this movie just because I wanted to see Tobey Maguire but I was honestly very happy with the entire story & all the actors were great! The cinematography was beautiful too. Highly recommend seeing this!
