American Beauty

A depressed suburban father in the midst of a midlife crisis decides to break free from his routine after becoming infatuated with his teenage daughter’s friend. As he pursues a new sense of freedom, tensions within his family and neighborhood begin to surface.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy dark, thought-provoking dramas about suburban discontent, family tension, and conformity, especially Magnolia or Fight Club; Not for you if you dislike uncomfortable themes or morally troubling characters.
