Sam Mendes' debut feature film is a revelation. It's a stunning marriage of simplistic film-making, emotional writing, and an original score up there with cinemas best. The performances across the board serve the material well, noone too flashy, all relatable and realistic. It's a shame the stand out role is by newcomer Wes Bentley, who sadly hasn't impressed since this movie.
