Watched Synecdoche, New York last night on TV. It's an interesting movie, a good movie but not the great movie that some critics were creaming themselves over.
Ironically a film about a man being overcome with his ambition to stage a great piece of theater should also lead to the Director of this film tripping himself up in the same way. I think he was trying to do too much and whilst a lot of it worked I don't think he pieced it together well enough. You could see some of the same touches that he had in Eternal Sunshine coming through in this movie but crucially he wasn't directing that movie.
It's a movie that would need second and even further viewing and everyone will take something from it.
