Silent J’s review:
Such a beautiful, flawless film about love and life. Wonderful performances from the likes of Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening as well as the entire cast. An intelligent script filled with sharp wit, dark humor, brilliant dialogue, and complex characters within a fantastic story. Terrifc direction that makes for some stunning, unforgettable, and iconic visuals. As close to a masterpiece as most films these days wish they can even achieve.
If you like this, be sure to check out the show Six Feet Under.
I've been meaning to see it for a while now, but I've been waiting for a chance where I have a whole week to myself so I can run a huge marathon of it. Sounds like a great, interesting show.
It hooked me from the pilot and never let go. One of my favorite shows of all time. It feels so real at times.
Can't wait to check it out.
