Excellent acting, writing and directing, everything I ask for a movie. Creative and intense plot, quite pioneering and ground-breaking for the time the movie was made.

nobody's responded to this, but yes. I agree. Too bad Steven hasn't done anything worth watching since this. :)

Um, hello Traffic? The movie which he won a very well deserved Best Director Oscar for?

Traffic was a pile of crap.

But Erin Brokovich was quite good.

Sex, Lies and Videotape was brilliant as a introspective piece. A combination of a well-written script and fantastic acting propelled Sex, Lies and Videotape as a memorable film.

The first time I saw this movie was in the 90s and I just finished watching it. I agree this movie was superb.
