Review: are vividly and painfully brought to slovenly life in this self-deprecating , biting and witty feature written by charlie kaufman and his twin brother , donald , and directed by spike jonze 
Sentiment: positive

Review: real human soul 
Sentiment: positive

Review: is like scorsese 's mean streets redone by someone who ignored it in favor of old ` juvenile delinquent ' paperbacks with titles like leather warriors and switchblade sexpot . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: the evocative imagery and gentle , lapping rhythms of this film are infectious -- it gets under our skin and draws us in long before the plot kicks into gear 
Sentiment: positive


Review: it 's so downbeat and nearly humorless that it becomes a chore to sit through -- despite some first-rate performances by its lead .
