Quirky, Original, and Fun

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2000)

Being John Malkovich, for me, was a surprisingly good film. Yes, I read the reviews, but so many films lately possess great reviews, but then when I see the flick, I just can't comprehend the praise. Not this one. This movie truly deserves the praise it has been given. This film is quirky, odd, original, which is hard to come by, unusual, strange, unnatural yet natural, bazaar, silly, exact, and in general, a pleasure. I was pleased with the direction, the acting, and most of all, the story which never ceased to amaze and always found a new door to crawl through and a new insight always lay at the other end. If you're tired of seeing mindless drivel, see Being John Malkovich, a film in which, even the title character appeared and performed well.
