I hate it less the longer I sit with it, but it was not a good movie.

Haven't watched one of his films since Synecdoche, but he's a good filmmaker. The things that suck about this are his typical self indulgences, but they're cranked up to 11.

Imagine a movie where a hidden door could put you inside John Malkovich’s head for a couple minutes.

Now imagine if that movie was actually fun!
Wow, I had a totally different read. I wish this movie was more acerbic, if it would mean fewer conversations about David Foster Wallace.
