I hated this movie! I walked out at least three times. It was too real for me, it reminded me too much of growing up. ;(

Spacey is diamond-brilliant in a role that plays as if custom-made for him.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

A singular accomplishment so specifically keyed to Spacey's talents that it mandates going out on a limb to say it contains the performance that will ultimately be regarded as "the one."Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

Spacey, an actor who embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice, is the right choice for Lester Burnham.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A triumph of acting, writing and directing that defies glib description...the kind of artful defiance that Hollywood is usually too timid to deliver: a jolting comedy that makes you laugh till it hurts.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

A wonder of a film -- a luminous, beautifully executed drama that gathers the best cast of the year -- the best American film of the year.Full Review
