Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Matthewg — 28 May 2009
There is a difference between a film being depressing and a film being sad. Synecdoche New york has a handful of desperately sad and stark moments, but depressing? Definitely not. It's enlightening and uplifiting.
It takes a while to get going but the movie's finale is utterly shattering. If you're comfortable with the view that your life begins and ends with the here-and-now, this is a movie that will confirm and comfort you.
I will be seeing it again soon.
