Adaptation.

Kaufman is a freak of nature. Acord (despite this being some of his less noteworthy stuff) is one of the most stylish cinematographers working. Cage is at his best when he plays headcases like this one. Jonze is replaceable, and I've always felt he just rides on the coattails of those he surrounds himself by. Still this thing is the product of some tremendous talent and is popular for a reason.

A brilliant film. I empathized with Charlie's character and I love the blending of autobiography and fiction. It was strange and surreal, but also humorous and touching. And Nic Cage proves his detractors (including myself) wrong here with his portrayal of the Kaufman twins. Their relationship was the center of the movie for me. It was just beautiful stuff.

Interesting concept and everything, but has no soul. And it slacked off halfway and through the end.

Kaufman's finest, closely followed by Eternal Sunshine. I have yet to spot a pertinent reason as to why this is not a classic.

I felt exactly as Francisco did. That opening monologue came out of the screen, past my skin and hit me directly in the heart.

Seth Farmer

this film will rattle your brain, making you question just what a movie is, and yet confirms just that

A great follow up to his masterful "being john malkovich" and a solid duo performance by nicolas cage.

Rewatched it for the fifth time, and love it even more now as I´ve grown older. The symbolism of the orchid is genius.
