wow

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 1999)

I have never seen anything like this before. It was funny, tragic, frightening and true. I have never been so amused and yet so terrified. Kevin Spacey is superb. Annette Bening gives the performance of her career. And Thora Birch has certainly grown into an impressive actress. American Beauty is the movie of 1999. If you see nothing else, see this.
