The Best Screenplay Ever

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2002)

There is a lot to be said about this movie. It has a great ensemble of actors, many of them giving their finest performances. It is well directed. The art/set direction, costume design, and hairstyling are also excellent. But the best thing about this movie is the fantastic writing by the greatest living screenwriter of our time, Robert Towne. he should have one every critic group award there was, in addition to the awards he did, which included the Oscar, the Golden Globe, and the Edgar Allen poe. It is a fantastic example of dramatic storytelling, with great characters and wonderful dialogue. It is no wonder why it is studied in cinema and theater classes around the country.
