Spellbinding deconstruction of American bigotry

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2000)

Being rather late in watching this film in the cinema, I had
heard the highest praise from friends that had seen it already.
So was biased in a way when I went to see it tonight. But
"American Beauty" thoroughly stunned me, if only by its
absolutely believable characters. Telling more would inevitably
give away too much. Even now I muse about this marvellous gem of
a film. 10 out
