Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Peterm — 23 Apr 2009

I too can barely believe this got made, or at least that the distributor didn't demand that it be substantially shortened. seymour hoffman is great and the early scenes are promising. but it becomes so ridiculous and so un-related to the reality of anyone who's not a writer without economic constraints that it is a complete waste of time.

its a shame; 'adaptation', particularly shows kaufman can produce genius, but what this film says about his mental state right now is worrying.
