Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008) by Emma G — 12 Jan 2010

Strange, intriguing and questioning the human existence, Kaufman has made and written a film as complex as Iâ??ve ever seen. However, does this make it any good? Absolutely not. Confusing, difficult and boring to the nth degree, I was wooed by the many 5 star reviews on the cover but save 2 hours of your life and donâ??t listen to the critics who hailed this as a masterpiece â?? itâ??s a downright mess of a film and not half as clever as it thinks it is.
