Excellent satirical drama

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2017)

American Beauty is a great satirical drama about middle-class suburbia, family and society in general. The writing, acting and directing are brilliant.
It was deservedly very successful at the time and was loved by critics and audiences alike. It won many awards. I'm puzzled as to why it's no longer regarded by many as one the best films and why it's not talked about as much.
