Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Ryan B he movie doesn’t exactly have a plot, it just chugs along telling you what happens in the beginning, and it doesn’t have a time reference or necessarily likable characters, but everything in here is so damn charming. half way through watching this i was inspired to clean my room and change how i felt about my situation, because i’ve been so exhausted and busy recently i haven’t been able to clean my room which is ridiculous. this movie helped me get a good nights sleep after 3 months of hell. like wow this filled me with so much awe, and it has so much style. just wow. like everything about this movie makes you feel like you shouldn’t like it, but it’s literally the beauty of it. wow. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Pedro G Excelente película, una gran cinta romántica con toques de comedia. Esta película narra una historia con los estereotipos de idealización americana, en donde hay una familia que vive una buena vida pero que tiene problemas familiares. La película se centra mas que nada en el problema del protagonista, quien no se siente querido ni respetado y busca un cambio en su vida, siendo conocer a Angela el impulso a hacerlo. También hay diversos arcos de personajes, teniendo a cada uno enfocado en algo en especifico y tratando de mejorar su vida; mi favorito y mas entretenido es el arco del protagonista, y otro que me gusto mucho es el del personaje de Ricky. Las actuaciones son excelentes, Kevin Spacey es el mas destacado a mi parecer, haciendo un gran papel de este hombre viviendo su crisis de la mediana edad, con momentos mas serios y emotivos, y otros graciosos. Por otro lado, la historia es algo polémica por lo que cuenta, pero es excelente el mensaje que quiere dejar y para mi lo logra ejecutar de gran manera. Además, es una película muy entretenida, mi única critica es que capaz tarda unos 15/20 minutos en engancharte, pero después no podes parar de verla. Tiene un par de giros de trama muy buenos que no te los esperas y te van a sorprender; además, destaco un par de escenas que ya son icónicas para el mundo del cine. Por ultimo, destacar la banda sonora, que si bien esta un poco ausente en la película, lo poco que se puede escuchar creo que no esta para nada mal. En conclusión, una excelente película que creo yo todos deberían ver ya que es un clásico del cine, con una historia brillante y sumamente entretenida junto a un mensaje que logra transmitir muy bien. Muy recomendada. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Larry K Kevin Spacey is truly unbelievable in this Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review The Great John A I'm just an ordinary reviewer, with nothing to lose! American Beauty is a comedy drama about a father in a mid-life crisis after being infatuated by his daughters friend... but that's just the tipping point of the story. Masterpiece is the first thing to come to mind, there is very few films that manage to confine different stories in the same setting the way American Beauty does so. The film is a rollercoaster of emotion and can easily change the whole entire atmosphere with the snap of it's fingers with a indistinguishable transition. That my friends, is called: "imaginative control" which is VERY hard to master. But in it's full throttle, can make a film undeniably adequate and spin on it's own head without being too ridiculous. I can't even describe how masterclass the acting is, Kevin Spacey's best performance as this frustrated, but caring, man which resorted him to win his second oscar. The music as well is just so simple, yet so calm and mild mannered just like Lester (for the most part!). Also some of the storylines that are included, while need to be discovered in context, are just cinema gold about this boy and an abusive father. Overall it's funny, it's sad, it's thought-provoking and it's a classic! American Beauty indulges it's intelligence thanks to it's amazing control of the story that succeed in it's goal for being one of my favourite films of all time! Watch it on prime now!!!
