THE film that leads us to the new Millennium

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2001)

Of the darkest humor and yet the most gripping of drama, Sam Mendes & Alan Ball brought us into the AmericanWorld that we hate to see but can't turn away from. Intricate interlacing of character and action, Lester Burnham and Family show us what we have all become. Yet there is a wonderful (almost giddy) Hope for tomorrow, even if sacrifices are mandatory just to make it to the next day. Nothing has gripped me like this since George & Martha showed us what we really are afraid of from Virginia Woolf (She would have loved this!) ~
