The Ice Storm (1997)
Woebegone
3 April 2020
What is the point of this well-made movie?

The director made another 'woebegone' movie called Brokeback Mountain where all the characters are doomed because they're poor, uneducated and living in the wrong generation.

Yet this 'doomsville' movie has rich, well-educated characters living in one of the wealthiest towns in the United States. But they are all doomed. The starry cast wear unflattering clothes, make-up and are desperately unhappy.

I praise the director for making a well-made movie but I blame the original author who it seems has made a successful career in the now-fashionable syndrome of wallowing in victimhood.

This story could be told in half its length.

It's always a pleasure to see Wendy Hiller whose had such a crippled film career but as for the other woman- well, I don't know her.

Restored (2017– )
Good, if repetitious.

You know that in every episode that Brett will insert 'pony walls', pocket doors, a mud room and an island bench in the kitchen.

He will also laugh like a drain and bear hug the wife.
