Excellent but too weird for many people's tastes

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2000)

This movie is excellent, there are so many original ideas crammed into it. One review I read compared in to the Coen brothers, I can see their point but there really isn't anything remotely like it. Unfortunately, like other original films such as Eraserhead or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it will be too much to handle for anyone who is put off by a lot of weirdness in movies. That's their loss though, and Being John Malkovich completely deserves its Oscar nominations (why were Malkovich and Cameron Diaz not nominated, though?)
