Review of Being John Malkovich (1999) by David Edelstein for Slate — 08 Mar 2006
Everything I've ever dreamed of in a crazy comedy. It's close to pure farce, yet its laughs are grounded in loneliness, impotence, self-loathing, and that most discomfiting of vices to dramatize: envy.
The action is surreal, the emotions are violently real.
