How do you describe something like this?

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 1999)

The best way I can sum up this movie is, "Damn - That's f***ed up!" The opening narrative gives away the eventual ending of the film, but, you don't know the how's or why's. Kevin Spacey has given yet another fantastic performance, Annette Benning's acting is right on target. I almost didn't recognize Thora Birch, who gives a very "surprising" performance - Man did she grow up or what?
There are quite a few twists and turns, and just when you thing you've got things figured out - you're proven WAY wrong. Things aren't always what they seem to be. What's wrong with the well-dressed, mild mannered drug dealer next door, what's up with his "ex-marine colonel" father and his "lost-in-her-own-inner-space" wife? How do the gay neighbours figure in the equation? And how does "Smiley Burger" fit in?
Pay attention to the dialogue, and body-language of all the actors - "many clues will you uncover grasshopper."
"Look closer"
You may figure this one out before the ending, but you will still enjoy the ride.
One final note, I bet the floral bill was enormous. Definatly go see this movie, in fact, go see a few times - it's worth it.
