Review of Synecdoche, New York

This is a very inordinary movie. With perhaps too much emphasis, and too many metaphors, making the movie feel like many small stories, instead of one singulare. Pictures and feeling by themselves, instead of a coherent film. It has a lot of beautifully written dialogue, but I did feel unjointed by everything being smooshed together. The movie had beautiful acting, touching performances especially from the lead played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Who did an amazing job. The writing of Charlie Kaufmann is briliant, but I much prefer when someone contains his beautiful writing, and has more of a red line throughout the story, so it feels more put together, and not just a scramble of a bunch of quotes, metaphors.

Thanks for reading my review.
