A Worthy Best Picture

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2001)

A lot has been said about American Beauty. Many will find it offensive and unwatchable. It is a very worthy Oscar Winner, made even more remarkable by a rookie director.
There are a million comments on this movie so suffice to say that I love it - it is one of the best films of the last 10 years. It is original and daring, and tells a tale that many, many people can relate to. Kevin Spacey's closing solioquy is screenwriting genius, and the cinematography is unique and breathtaking. Well filmed, acted, written and directed.
See this film!!! **** out of ****.
