Unique & refreshing...excellent performances, BUT...

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2000)

ultimately not what it could have been. What begins as a fantastical exploration of a warped reality .... amazing and engaging in its portrayal of "being John Malkovich" has, by the 3/4 mark, run out of gas. The uniqueness of the vision does not sustain a rapidly thinning plot. Enjoyable nonetheless.
