Very refreshing. A joy to watch.

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2000)

This is a really refreshing film to see. Finally, a totally original film, combined with a plot that's well worked out. All of the rules in film-making are thrown overboard, and yet we're left not with a bunch of unstable rubbish but with a very satisfying final result. Acting is great. Notably Malkovich himself, and the unrecognisable Diaz is good as well. Some scenes are completely hilarious. I get the feeling that it's a string of comments on society rather than a coherent plot but somehow it all feels related. When i watched Jonze in an interview talking about it i couldn't gain any insight into this guy. He's totally nuts if you ask me, but he's still a brilliant filmmaker.
