Review of Pleasantville

Pleasantville (1998)
10/10
A wonderful film with more depth then you see at first
17 November 2006
At first, the plot seems quite obvious and not a whole lot challenge you. But as the film progresses, you realize there is more to this film then the complications of traveling from the 90's to the classical 50's. I loved this film and was stunned by the depth it showed. It was surprising, but I can understand that some might not see this. This is also a good feature with "Pleasantville". It works very good (Specially with the acting of the wonderful Reese Witherspoon) in one level, but it can take you up another level as well, if you choose to be receptive to this.

It is definitely worth seeing, since it all blends together perfectly. Acting, sound, picture and context makes for an experience. Joan Allen portrays Betty Parkers silent questioning and discovering in such a heartbreaking way. She and Reese Witherspoon (Who plays Jennifer) almost makes the whole movie worth watching just because of their incredible acting.
