Review of Life as a House (2001) by Ovi G — 17 Feb 2008
This I think is one of my all time favourite dramas. It is rarely you get to see such an incredible movie. It is well written, directed, and acted, especially by Kevin Kline and Kristin Scott Thomas. Hayden Christensen gives us the same believable anger, sullenness and pathos as his Anakin Skywalker character did in Episode II; maybe better.
He makes a good troubled teen. A very mixed up story and may I say a very FUCKED up family that get to know each other to fall in love with each other all over but until that part they have to struggle to survive the madness, lonelyness, drugs and many other cicrumstances that would easily be described as a sad and sometimes depraved life.
But all the worse to the best, all good dramas need a good ending that is much needed after all the sad episodes this movie puts you thru. Great one. See it!
