Jason W One of the best movies ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Tom B Dont waste 2 hours of your life watching this movie that just has random scenes and talking and never leads anywhere. I kept waiting for the twist that never came Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Denise L I wanted to like this. I wanted to think it was brilliant. With such stellar actors, at the very least the acting was good. But it was torture from start to finish. I can't remember the last film I disliked so strongly. In short, if this film was an animal limping across the highway, the kindest response would be to hit it and put it out of its misery. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Jack P If you’re thinking about it don’t !! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review KD A. A surrealist, horror-light movie. Excellent acting, filmography, and dialogue, hence 2.5 stars, but the film is all head and spine, no heart. I couldn’t care less about the characters and what happens to them, which in the end is exactly nothing. (They grow old? They win a Nobel Prize for musical theater?) I’m new to RT. My experience thus far suggests that it’s safe in most cases to ignore both the 1-star and 5-star ratings. For this movie, the 1-stars are mainly viewers who need a strong plot to be satisfied or who are offended at the first whiff of pretentiousness, both of which are run afoul of in this picture. A 5-star rating suggests that the reviewer is willing to hold the film only to the standard of a different art form—interpretive dance, for instance—or that they find ideological confirmation in some of the film’s messaging, such as the cynical outlook toward romantic relationships (with predictable expressions of gender vulnerabilities), the way parents screw up their children, or the current generational anxiety while still young of what it means to age. Ho hum to both extremes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Mirocko B Hope you like Charlie Kaufman. Otherwise you're in for a pretty big let down here. Or at least a real confusing hour or two. Don't watch this as your first Kaufman film. It will ring more true if you get ready first with one or more of his masterpiece stories. But if you Do like CKs work. Wow! You are in for a treat. This is a hidden gem. Get ready for something trickier than Adaptation, more heartbreaking than Eternal Sunshine, and bleaker than John Malkavitch. Can't give it more stars because most people will not enjoy this movie. And then I can't give his other films more stars than this one. Not a weak film, but the weakest of the four mentioned. You'll remember it. Years later. So sad, in a very real, very human way.
