It looks a little weird, a little funny, a little Charlie Kaufman. And I’m thinking it’s going to need a lot of love from critics if it’s to be hoisted onto the awards circuit. No one else writes the way Kaufman does, at least no one who regularly works and sells scripts. There are probably plenty of weird, interesting scripts floating around this town and yet they’ll never be seen. Kaufman has wedged his way in and now there’s no replacing him. But we need more daring writers like this here in the US. He’s sort of a Terry Gilliam meets Woody Allen meets Samuel Beckett.

I am totally blacking out in terms of the buzz, info, etc surrounding this film. I cannot wait to see it, and it is one of my most anticipated films of the year.
I was already looking forward to it, but these clips just shot it to the top of my anticipation list for this year.
Looks like a snoozefest.
Looks good!
But Michelle Williams has yet to impress me. I’m hoping she’s OK in this film, because I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while.
Man, I can’t help but think this will be one of the greats this year. Those clips were excellent, I can’t wait.
This film is now a movie I cannot wait for, it was already on my list because of Hoffman though.
Kauffman is a fraud. All he does is cobble together bits from Woody Allen’s short stories, Annie Hall’s rough cut, Zelig, Stardust Memories and Deconstructing Harry.
