One of the most original and thought provoking films in a long time.

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2002)

When I first saw Being John Malkovich, all I could think was "this isn't really just a comedy". It's seems too easy to label this film as just a comedy; it covers so many different areas and shows more emotions than a large majority of more highly regarded films. Don't be mislead, this is a VERY funny film, but it's also quite dramatic, full of fascinating complexity and beautiful imagery. From Craig's dialog's through his puppet's, the visions and feelings experianced through Malkovich, the (in the very literal sense) low-ceiling workplace, the absolutely priceless chase through Malkovich's subconscious, it all comes together with a very sad, strange, and appropriate ending to create a work of art. A must see to truly understand, even if fully understanding may never have been intended.
