Hilarious, original, intelligent

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2000)

Magnificent! The script is pure genius; a portal into Malkovich' brain!? - I love it! John Cusack looks like the Big Lebowski himself, Catherine Keener is excellent, Diaz gives a great performance while trying to look less beautiful than usual. She should have gotten an Oscar-nomination for this, but I'm pretty sure she'll get one within the next two years anyway, if she keeps picking her roles like she's doing right now. And of course there's Malkovich himself, who is hilarious, as are the many cameos. Being John Malkovich is funny, very original and intelligent, and it's among my favorite films ever.
