American Beauty

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

My biggest fear before watching this movie was that I felt I was going to be unsatisfied with the product, I mean American beauty is considered the best movie of 1999 and hell some say of all time. I'm happy to say that did not happen, yes American beauty is a masterpiece in its own right
The brilliant direction by Sam Mendes and permanence from Kevin Spacey (less we forget) is really what pulls it together. The dialogue was also fantastic and had me laughing at several moments ( seriously that dinner scene after spacey quits his job is absolutely hilarious).
Honestly my biggest problem of the film was the whole 'Spacey's character is going to die at the end' draw. It felt unnecessary in the theme of the plot, the ending voice over of spacey talking about his life felt quite out of place honestly.
Regardless, you should check it out, this film is only a hair away from being a perfect 10 in my eyes. Maybe you'll love it even more
