Is it really that good, or just incredibly different??

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 1999)

I've seen it, enjoyed it, but is it really that good? I have to admit, although I do enjoy "out of the ordinary" movies, I rarely if ever check out independent movies, and that's what this is. Being John Malkovich is an independent film with big name actors, that's what separates it from the throngs of other "different" independent films out there with casts of John Does, not John Malkovichs. Given, it was "out there", and that's what myself, along with millions of other people, find refreshing about this film. But what millions of people also fail to realize is that there are hundreds of movies like this released every year, with fantasic ideas, wonderfully written, masterfully directed, but one glaring difference remains: Big Names in the credits! The End.
