Movie Review – Synecdoche, New York (2009)

Starring – Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Samantha Morton
Director – Charlie Kaufman
Domestic Gross – $3,083,538
Running Time – 124 minutes

Charlie Kaufman is bat shit crazy. I just sat here for about 5 minutes considering leaving that as my entire review. All the reviews online of this film describe it as “difficult, but genius” or “a true allegory”. What that says to me is that this movie is nonsense and nobody wants to be the one to admit that they didn’t get it. Well, I didn’t get it. There was a house perpetually on fire and minuscule art as well as a to scale set of New York City. I could not have been more confused or less entertained. In conclusion... Charlie Kaufman is bat shit crazy.

I’m Mike D and I approve this message.
