Absolutely Wonderful

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 1999)

I saw American Beauty a few days ago and the movie is still burned in my mind. This movie is by far the best film I've seen this year. Kevin Spacey gave an excellent performance in this film, playing a man going through a mid-life crisis to perfection. Bening, Bentley, Birch, Suvari, and Cooper were all superb as well. Also, the fact that this was the debut film for both director Mendes and screenwriter Ball just blew me away. This is one movie not to be missed. Some may be offended by the actions of the characters, but they are all human, and act like flawed people as they should. If there is justice in the world, this movie will be up for multiple Oscars come March, as it deserves.
