Truly great performances highlight American Beauty from Kevin Spacey's Oscar turn to the brilliant Oscar nominated performance of Annette Benning who so deserved an Oscar for this role, won by equally great Hillary Swank in Boys Don't Cry. It's a devastating film of a great family that suddenly takes a turn and begins to crumble before our very eyes. Undergoing similar dysfunction is a neighbouring family as well. American Beauty truly makes us question the value of current American Life Styles. I would label this an out and out tragedy!
