Dang Rebs

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2004)

Easily the best movie I've seen this year in cinematography, acting (Renee - wow), plot, screenwriting, and possibly directing. Eminently re-watchable and a nice slice of American history that we don't see enough of - and if we do, they all tend to be hicks. I would have given this a "10" except for one thing. Well, I hate to give away an ending, except to say I hate when movies end that way. Yes, I know life can be terrible, but when I go to the movies, I want to escape real life and hope that someone somewhere else, or at some other time, has a hope for a happy ending. We just don't get enough happy endings anymore!
