What can I say? This movie has left me feeling so good. I must have only seen it about half an hour ago, but I had to come and review it because that is how good it is.
Featuring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening as a couple whose marriage is falling apart. Lester Burnham (Spacey) is this forty something guy who decides to make a few changes with his life, such as smoking dope, buying a Firebird car, and sleeping with his daughter's friend.
Very surreal cut scenes coupled with a hindsight narrative voiceover from Spacey, give the film an almost Woder Years style feel, but it is very good all the same.
You are not prepared for the ending at all, but it finishes in such a way that everything is rounded off nicely. I won't spoil it for you, just go and buy it.
