Is this your suburbia? is this your life?

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2012)

A mid-life crisis never seemed so pathetically intriguing. Drawn to the message of personal evolution like a proverbial moth, I managed to overlook the crude aspects of most of the characters and focused on each of their personal crisis. Kevin Spacey delivers the underdog performance you'd expect, but Annette Benning's portrayal of the dominant wife in distress was Oscar worthy. There are flawed characters to relate to for everyone and, therefore, accessible to all. While what we desire differs intensely, how we hold our cherished prizes, once attained, shows our character, and therefore our souls' keeper. While beauty may not be meant to be possessed, it remains uniquely personal as is this movie.
