Is this film "It's A Wonderful Life" for our generation?

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2000)

This is a truly provocative movie. It challenges us to take a fresh look at society and more specifically the class/capitalist/materialistic system that most of us accept as the norm. Where it has polarised critics in this country I sense genuine fear from those that "do not" like the film that the creature comforts they have slaved so tirelessly for may not provide them with the truly deep answers that they seek.
Materialism clearly is not the answer. Do not settle for what is expected of you. Be happy.
A truly stunning debut from Alan Mendes and a deeply moving performance from Kevin Spacey. I will never forget his final monologue or the imagery which accompanied it.
