Review of American Beauty (1999) by Alex A — 02 Apr 2014
American Beauty has good performances all around especially from Kevin Spacey, drama that works really well, and bursts of wit. Unfortunately the movie is very slow at times, and the idea of a forty-two year old falling in love with a teenager was very unsettling for me.
I did enjoy watching American Beauty for its performances, humor, and somewhat relatable characters, but never did I feel amazed or emotionally moved as I thought I'd be from the critical praise. American Beauty is a smart drama either way with good characters, but I wasn't blown away by it; What a pretentious floating bag sequence.
