Review of American Beauty (1999) by Brandon S — 07 Sep 2012
A masterpiece! Annette Benning and Kevin Spacey have such a quietly bad relationship that keeps the audience on the fence. Chris Cooper's performance as the uptight and conservative Army dad really gets me.
One of Wes Bentley's most well played performances. There is an odd sexual tension mixed with blatant honesty and incredibly awkward nervousness. This film's premise is gripping and dark while still being funny and romantic.
Sam Mendes has really created something great with this one. I really, really loved this movie!
