A Wonderful Experience

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 1999)

I went to see this movie last night, on the recommendation of a friend and without knowing anything about the plot. What an amazing experience. I thought the character development was very good, especially with Kevin Spacey's. Certainly his best role ever. With such a dark story line, I was surpised at how funny this movie is. It had one of the best lines I've heard in years - when Bening's character is having her open house, and showing the pool to the two women. They complain about the lack of lush greenery and plants around the pool. Bening says something to the effect of "If you don't like the plants, I can call in my landscape architect - salt."
The ending has a wonderful and unexpected twist. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a LONG time.
