Review of American Beauty (1999) by Darrell T — 06 Jul 2013
A great movie about a man who is in a loveless marriage and he decides to make his life better...An incredible, Oscar winning performance by Kevin Spacey, as Lester Burnam, leads the way. Annette Benning was nominated for Best Actress playing Lester's cheating wife Carolyn.
Thora Birch is great as their unhappy teenage daughter, Janey and Wes Bently plays her mysterious boyfriend Ricky...Chris Cooper & Mena Suvari are also very good...This is director Sam Mendes debut feature film and he won the Oscar for Best Director & the film won for Best Picture.
..a complete triumph all around. Some very funny, sad, and scary moments throughout...don't miss this one.
