American Beauty review

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2012)

Kevin Spacey gives one of the most impressive, if not the best performance of his career, American Beauty is easily one of the most satisfying movies within the last 20 years. Spacey plays Lester Burnham, and he makes us more than believe that his character is real.
Sam Mendes in nothing short of brilliant as he directs this Oscar- winning masterpiece, but lets not forget the complementing roles of Carolyn Burnham, and Jane Burnham, played by the Oscar-nominated star Annette Bening, and the Golden Globe nominated actress Thora Birch.
This best picture winner is a must see for any fan of phenomenal films. If only more movies were made as well as this modern masterpiece.
