Synechdoche, New York
A sprawling, epic ode to whiney, hypochondriacal, pretentious, emotionally detached dickheads everywhere. It plays out not as genius, but as a string of heartless gimmicks which left me cold.
Charlie Kaufman's writing is best left to other directors. I found this to be his weakest film to date... which is still better than most films by nature of it's sheer audacity.
6.5/10
