The Ice Storm
“It was 1973, and the climate was changing.”
Drama
In the weekend after thanksgiving 1973 the Hood family is skidding out of control. Then an ice storm hits, the worst in a century.
VIBE
A quietly devastating portrait of suburban ennui and fractured connections, it feels like a cold, reflective gaze into the awkwardness of burgeoning desires and the chill of domestic decay. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and a palpable sense of emotional drift, all under a stark, wintry spell.
