Provoked by forbidden passions, Lester Burnham (Spacey) decides to make a few changes in his rut of a life, changes that are less midlife crisis than adolescence reborn. The freer he gets, the happier he gets, which is even more maddening to his wife, Carolyn (Bening), and daughter Jane (Birch) --especially when he turns his lustful gaze toward Jane's friend, the sultry Angela (Suvari). (Dreamworks SKG)

Ugh, what is this incel shit. The writing for every non cis male character is atrocious. I'd say this movie deserves Kevin Spacey but that seems too cruel.

Had I watched this when it first came out, I would have condemned it for the vile characters and the cheap-feeling ending. But now as I approach middle age, and wonder if I'm a zombie going through life, the movie seems more personal, even with the vile characters and a suburban life wildly different from my own.
