A true beauty
This movie is an absolute true masterpiece. I have not, and I believe I will not, see a movie that lives up to this one. Kevin Spacey gives a show stopping performance as Lester Burnham, a 40 year old man dealing with a mid-life crisis. Annette Bening (Carolyn Burnham, Lester's wife) and Thora Birch (his daughter) also contribute to this high-caliber film. Wes Bentley does an absolute awesome job as the quiet, self-contained drug dealer. As Lester realizes what he needs to break himself free from his boring and oppressing life, he turns everyone else's upside down. This movie is riddled with dark comedy, but remains a serious drama.
I have recommended this film to all of my friends and family and to anyone who wants to view a great film that will leave keep them in their seats start to finish. I gave this film 10, once you see it you will too.
