Product: Gods and Monsters (1998)
Rating: 5.0
Absolutely captivating
This film was, without a doubt, the most original, beautiful, artful films of the year. It contains touching, fully realized performances by three masters of the form. McKellen exhibits an unfathomable emotional range that is far beyond the capacity of any actor today. Fraser, who has been unfairly overlooked and underestimated in the past shows audiences that he possesses the depth, talent, confidence and versatility to be considered the best Hollywood has to offer. He gives me hope that the mold was not broken after the Cary Grants and Gary Coopers of an older and, dare I say better, Hollywood.
