Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 1999)

This is no doubt in my mind the best movie of 1999. Sitting through this movie, something happened to me that has never happened to me before. I found myself so impressed with the movie that I completely forgot I was watching one. It was as if I was peering into someone's life. Usually, no matter how good a movie is, I find myself looking at my watch to see how much time is left for the movie to end. With this movie, I didn't want it to. The movie took such a hold on me that I never wanted it to end, but when it did, I was still satisfied. The movie ended on such a unique note that words cannot describe the emotions I had when leaving this film. From start to finish it was excellent.
I am a true lover of films, so it was difficult for me to choose this as my FAVORITE movie of all time, but I finally accepted it. This is definitely my favorite movie. A+! Perfect 10! Wonderful performances from all, great direction, and superb script. A definite must-see. To describe this movie in one word: BEAUTIFUL!
