"American Beauty" is yet another film that is thought-provokingly well done and masterfully crafted, yet too blunt for its own good. This film would be nearly perfect if given a dose of healthy implication. Its best scenes are scenes in which subtly reigns and where things are shown without being shown. The nudity and overly foul and sexual language make it a weaker film in my humble opinion, and had the writer held back a bit, an equally chilling yet not so morally compromising film may have been created. In essence, it's a work of art - unfortunately, it's one that I simply cannot recommend due to the brief yet damningly objectionable moments scattered throughout.
