The Best Film Of 2000 So Far

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2000)

This must be the best film of the year so far. The story is amusing and dramatic and the acting and directing are first rate. Kevin Spacey's performance is calculating yet never over the top while Annette Benning is restrained and underplays her character to perfection. The young stars of the movie, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari and Wes Bently all aquit themselves well and Sam Mendes' direction is masterful. See American Beauty its the best film of the year!
