Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Valerie R — 03 Oct 2012
Some critics, and critics of critics, say you need to be a scholar to "understand it's contextual meaning." Read the summary, a depressed playwright takes decades to produce/direct a film of his own life (narcissistic much? should you care?) which he never actually accomplishes.
Mixed with the monotone nature of this film and it's length, no matter what your education, there is something about your own life you will begin to question while watching. Is living as an existential pompous, dwelling in that murk, something you want to sleep through? Wake me when you can tell me what this film has done for you.
....yes...I'm still sleeping.
