Not my kind of movie

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 1999)

"Being John Malkovich" left me cold. Actually, it turned me off. The basic premise was interesting, but it was all downhill from there. This movie contains significant scenes of violence against a woman. This violence is gratuitous; it doesn't really stem from preceding scenes and the perpetrator is not portrayed as particularly reprehensible. Apparently a lot of people liked this film. I'm not sure what movie they saw. Can it be the same one I saw?
