It Makes You Think

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2002)

Completely absorbing comedy-drama with a heart. This is what film making should do. It entertains and makes you think. The performances are top notch as is the writing. Kevin Spacey, in an Oscar winning role, and Annette Bening lead the fine cast and they are exceptional. The supporting cast is equally impressive including Chris Cooper, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari and Wes Bentley. What impressed me most about this film is how honest it is. It never gives in to stereotypes we've all grown use to in cinema today. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry but above all it makes you think.
