The ultimate satire of American excess

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2016)

Upon watching the first half hour of this film, I had serious misgivings due to the seeming predatory nature of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) yet as the film progressed, I understood more and more of his character motivations. His transformation from an emasculated pathetic beta male to the ultimate alpha male was brilliant to watch. Spacey is such a great actor that he brings a magnetism to every single role that he is in e.g Se7en and the Usual Suspects. Stylistically the film is also brilliant. The film is laden with visual metaphors, such as the use of rose petals to demonstrate Burnham's love for Angela.
