| User Reviewmonsieur rI got to see the movie " On Thin Ice" on the television in Cincinnati on Lifetime.. I must say the movie was really well done, and really sent a chill down my spine.. the basic story makes me ponder what makes certain addicts decide to move on where as others still remain addicted... however, I felt that Diane Keaton was at her best... the scene where she has cravings, and begins rummaging her home for cocaine... was the best... the two boys are good, and Lynda Boyd also showed what a good actress she is....The script is well done as is the cinematography and direction.. and casting A must must watch movie..... for everyone |
| User ReviewJulia MThis was an excellent movie. Knowing me would let one know just how much this movie touched home. Sober 19 years today 6/19/91! Yahoo AA This movie pretty much shows it like it is - idefinitely lets one know what life being poor and addicted with children is like. A Must See!! |
| User ReviewDe'Asia SI never thought she could ever play a drug dealer/addict. She did a great job though. |
| User ReviewJess PA value fedding movie, based on a true to life story of patsy mcardle. She's a mom of two son, a widow, a drug dealer just to support her family's needs, and for the medication of her youngest son. And also she's a user, but later on became an fbi asset or something, to save her family's future and her 2 beloved son. |
| User ReviewSweet Poetic Ron thin ice was a very good movie....but to be down on her luck like that and to start selling drugs and to get hooked and to put herself and her children in dangerous, she wasn't thinking....i'm glad that the ending turned out better . |
| User ReviewLynn SIt was difficult to watch the heroine go through the descent into addiction, neglect of her kids, and the process of kicking the crystal meth habit. Yet I couldn't tear my eyes away. Diane Keaton is still Diane Keaton, but she does a credible job of portraying someone whose life gets totally and dangerously out of control. |
