Pleasantville

...it's the screenplay that wins the day, crammed with so much inventiveness and charm that a third stab at the golden statuette must surely be on the cards.

Pleasantville is the kind of parable that encourages us to re-evaluate the good old days and take a fresh look at the new world we so easily dismiss as decadent.

...a clever comedy drama which does more than just dump a couple of modern teens into a '50s sitcom.

Pleasantville is about the falseness of family values and the need of the individual to break through society's shield of conformity, but, most of all, it's about having fun at the expense of nostalgia.

...detailing the relationship between a 12-year-old girl, Weber, and her 76-year-old grandmother, Sondergaard (...), at whose country home the girl stays for the summer.
