Chicago Sun-Times
Spacey, an actor who embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice, is the right choice for Lester Burnham.

TNT RoughCut
A dark comical masterpiece that single-handedly announces the collapse of the American family infrastructure as it exists on the brink of Y2K.

Dallas Observer
It gracefully defies the usual categories, gets under your skin in ways you cannot anticipate, then works its way straight toward the heart. It's far and away the bravest and best movie of the year.

Hilarious, slightly sick, and super-edgy ...the acting of its two principals, Annette Bening and Kevin Spacey, is so sublime that it's worth seeing on that grounds alone.

Hilarious, painful and brutally frank.
