The CinePearl Take
Kevin Kline delivers a restrained, simmering performance as Ben, whose infidelities ripple through the household. The film’s deliberate, almost glacial pacing mirrors the literal ice storm, allowing the audience to feel the characters’ emotional chill. Lee’s use of muted colors and period details underscores the theme that beneath polished facades lies a brittle, unsettled core.
