Intriguing

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2001)

American Beauty is a flim, that to me echos David Lynch's Blue Velvet. Whilst American Beauty seems to be the lighter rather than the darker of the portrait of dysfunctional suburbia.
This is a flim that in order to really appriatate just how meaningful deep it really is it requires one's full attention. Kevin Spacey's second best performance,(his best 7/Unusal Suspects) leads a first rate cast, in a story that does have its shocks and suprises
A 2 hours well spent
