A Beautiful Picture

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2002)

This certainly seems to be the right time for Russell Crowe. He won last year for Gladiator, and I think he should win another this year for this brilliant performance. This is a movie that is complex, thoughtful, and above all well acted. Even though Crowe is an Aussie, I think he pulled off the West Virginia accent pretty well. I have been impressed since seeing him in L.A. Confidential, and I am even more impressed.
