Being John Malkovich
dark, stirring, smart. I really liked it. minor complaints: Maxine is utterly incomprehensible, her motives and her desires change so haphazardly- she only exists to advance the plot; I wasn't really convinced by some of her switches. Also, the ending is absolutely astonishing- that said, I'm a little suspicious of giving credit to the genius to tie those loose ends together, considering this is accomplished by entirely inventing all the rules of the world. It's just a little less impressive to write your ending and then have complete authority to invent the rules that allow you to reach that ending.
Overall though- really compelling watch. Liked it a lot.
