Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2005)

This movie is so beautiful and it works on so many levels.
This is a feel-good movie that will without any doubt, leave most of the audience feeling just that at the closing credits.
What impresses me the most is the fact that the movie itself does not contain any brilliant or particularly interesting plot, but instead lives solely on the performance of the cast and the way it was directed. Garden State is a travel in small, small things that linked together bring the movie's characters closer and closer to happiness.
Natalie Portman is absolutely amazing in this movie. Her character steals most of the scenes and I am astonished how well this girl can act (seeing her previously in Star Wars with George Lucas wooden "Anakin, let go of me" dialog).
Score: 10 of 10
