Lack of rhythm.

Rating: 4/10 (9 February 2000)

The director's work was excellent, the photography was superb, actors did a great job. Nevertheless I got terribly bored. Why? I think it is because the plot is not good enough and there is not much rhythm in the middle section of the film. I am afraid this is not the general opinion, so perhaps you must distrust on me.
The film is quite similar to Happiness, but Inot as good. In Soldon´s film you got interested in the life of those people and the plot jumped easily from one to the other. In American Beauty the plot tends to remain stagnant.
