This is not going to be a normal review. I will not make a list. I will not make a list of all the things bad, of all the things good, and all the things mediocre in this film. I will not give it a rating other than verbal. I will only talk about it. I will talk about why I think of it so important. Why I believe it to be among the greatest films of all time. This article will be a celebration of ... read more

The Charlie Kaufman is already notorious for the skill of the script by «Being John Malkovich», «Adaptation» and of course the «Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind». The mind-trapper sign here and of course the scenario with the difference that first puts himself in the director's chair. Leading a great cast perfectly and winning the top all-range interpretation Hoffman «Capote», the Ame... read more

Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. When I walked out of the New York theater after I saw it the first time, I didn’t know what to think. I felt something, but I didn’t know what. My mind was focused on the burning house and the series of illnesses that Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) suffers. I thought about how clever it was to hide an event such as the burning house right under o... read more

" The brilliant Charlie Kaufman made his directorial debut with this film from 2008, in which Philip Seymour Hoffman is a playwright given a MacArthur genius grant, which he uses to move into a warehouse with a troupe of actors used as stand-ins for his own life. Things wildly unravel near the end, becoming increasingly dreamlike as actors switch roles and Hoffman gives up directing, joining the play himself. The play is his life and the life is his play, but does it matter? 'Synecdoche, "

"3.3 En ole kirjoitustuulella, mutta Kaufmanin käsis on jälleen kerran helvetin hyvä, näyttelijät tekevät hyvää työtä. Paikoitellen hauskaa, mutta suuremmaksi osaksi erittäin raskasta katsottavaa."

"I was constantly confused by the meta-worldly style of Synecdoche, New York, but I do know that I will be watching it again. It is complex, multi-layered, and usually rather weird. Charlie Kaufman's writing and directorial efforts really do triumph here, forming a twisting and turning story of much pain and remorse, challenging perspectives on the physical reality and existentialist disillusionment. Phillip Seymour Hoffman gives a truly excellent performance; his character's ever-present distres"
