Best movie of the year

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 1999)

In a year when there really haven't been too many impressive flicks, this movie stands out. It's comedic, tragic, deep and poignant and overall just a great viewing experience. Kevin Spacey gives the performance of his life and the supporting actors such as Annette Bening, Thora Birch and Chris Cooper are also great. The plot doesn't sound like much and when I went in i was expected to be dissapointed or to be bored but instead I was riveted and amazed at the movie which has heart, passion, strangeness, and even true joy. Overall I thought it was the best movie of the year so far. Great flick.
