POSITIVES…
If you like Charlie Kaufman as a filmmaker and storyteller, then you know this movie will give you a unique experience.
The conversations and voice over monologues are definitely interesting and insightful to listen to.
Unsettling. Creepy. Mysterious.
The intercutting scenes should grab your attention, and should make you more interested in what the heck is going on.
Fantastic cast! Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, David Thewlis, and Toni Collette. Jimmy the dog!
Tons of symbolisms, themes, and subtext, that requires a lot of thinking to do.
Once you have a better understanding of what the film is about, it automatically becomes a better experience when watching it a second time.
Needless to say, it's a weird movie, with an odd narrative.
NEGATIVES…
It's a weird movie, with an odd narrative. Probably the least accessible Charlie Kaufman movie for a general audience.
The random dialogue might make your mind wander too much.
I can see people getting frustrated and bored with this film.
The first act will definitely test your patience.
The final act will also test your patience.
Some people are just not going to like how the movie concludes.
P.S….
