Phenomenal

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2006)

This amazing film combines a brilliant script, masterful use of music, and biting political commentary, yet leaves the audience full of hope. You can't escape the parallels to the current U.S. administration, yet there's a subtlety and believability in the arcs of the characters that keeps it above melodramatic.
If you're American and despair for what our country has become, see this movie and realize you're not alone. If you're outside our borders and fear for what we appear to be becoming, see this movie and know there is an awakening happening here, which I hope this masterful film will quicken.
