Modern Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2002)

"American Beauty". I must admit I was a little sceptical walking into the theatre to watch this much talked about and controversial film. But believe me, all doubts were put to rest as I walked out.
This film has deserved all the praise that has been heaped upon it. Under the masterful direction of Sam Mendes and a brilliantly witty and satirical script from Alan Ball, Kevin Spacey delivers a performance he will long be remembered for. Others such as Annette Bening, Wes Bently and Chris Cooper will aslo impress.
A must see. 9/10
