Incredible and unforgettable

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2000)

I just saw this movie last night and I've thought of little since. Its already in its own place in my movie-memory bank, and I am grateful to have the pleasure to see such a cinematic experience. I don't know how the movie was made, I don't know how the actors did what they did and I don't know how much money was spent but its all great, I mean GREAT.
Ellen Burstyn must be given a special mention, for the work she does. All the actors are excellent but Ellen does some amazing things and should be remembered by serious critics at the year-end awards. I did not know Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans could act, but they can, and they were fantastic. That leaves Jared Leto, who was just as good as everyone else and breaks your heart several times as well, especially his last scenes. There is also a very strong supporting cast, including Chris McDonald, Keith David and Louise Lasser.
I urge any moviegoer, casual or dedicated, to see this in a theatre. I swear there are parts where you will literally forget to breathe. No kidding.
