A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2001)

I've watched this movie several times and each time I see something more. Sure it will upset some... the language and the sexual references... but folks, that is what goes on out there, even in the dreary suburbs. But this movie is more than that. It is a reflection on contemporary western life at the turn of the century. What Lester confronted and experienced is happening to 'middle-aged' men all around the world, not just in suburban America. Call it mid-life crisis or what you will, but I'll bet there are thousands of men who identified with Lester, even though they may not openly admit it. 10/10.
