one of the best of this year

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2004)

One word: WOW.
I didn't know what to expect because it's a first-time work by a TV actor. But GS really amazes me. This flick is very well written and directed, most of all beautifully acted. If it's not for those great performances, GS wouldn't have been half as good.
Zach was quite decent, but Portman and Sarsgaard were incredible, they stole the show. Deserve some awards.
I would like to see more movies like this, instead of those cheap blockbusters.
