Synecdoche, New York

Comedy
Review by Jon
Excellent! - Rating out of 100 - 90



This is a rare treat for grown-ups.

It's a marvelous, intelligently written comedy using a highly original and complex concept. A real work of art, I can only imagine the effort that went into the script.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is superb as a distressed, neurotic, perfectionist full of self loathing and perceptive introspection.  


He is so flawed and miserable he's a sheer pleasure to watch.


Don't watch this when you're tired, this is a film that requires concentration, and appreciation.There are so many great lines that it's easy to miss some, probably needs to be watched twice - I intend to.


Excellent! Highly recommend this - perfect for Woody Allen fans
