New Release Review - "The Ice Tower"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-11-20

That was an era when the gulf between adolescence and adulthood wasn't so pronounced, when adults didn't think it strange that they were working alongside kids. It reminds us of how Cameron Crowe became a rock critic while barely out of short pants, or how Spielberg wandered onto a Hollywood backlot and found himself directing Joan Crawford within months.
