## Description

From the writer of Adaptation, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Theater director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is mounting a new play.

His wife Adele (Catherine Keener) has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin, taking their young daughter

Review: One of the best films ever made! A new favorite of mine. - There are no limits to what Charlie Kaufman can accomplish simply by using his imagination. This is definitely one of the most creative films that I have ever seen in my life: a brutally honest look into one man's life, and the lengths that he goes to in order to create a vision that is unique and personal. I keep reading differing opinions of this film, and some seem to think that it is a depressathon. This couldn't be farther from the truth. While it is sad in many ways, the film ultimately is a celebration of life and the way that we choose to live it. Most importantly, it is about creation, about art, about the human condition. It is a film that demands to be seen, simply because it is so large in scale - a film that is full to the brim in ideas. Some may say that this is the film's downfall. I see it as some sort of miracle. Why settle for something less than brilliant? Seek out something that will move you, something that will challenge you. SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK does all of that and more. The performances by the large cast are uniformly wonderful, and the writing and direction by Charlie Kaufman is spectacular. He has done a wonderful job with his directorial debut. The musical score by Jon Brion is brilliant. See this film. Ignore the negative reviews. Give it a chance, and you just might thank yourself in the long run.
Review: An extraordinary film that I will certainlywatch again. The role of Caden - An extraordinary film that I will certainly watch again. The role of Caden, which Philip Seymour Hoffman creates is a lifetime achievement portraying a man's life from middle age to elderly. He portrays it with the full embodiment of his entire lifetime as an actor. The other supporting actors, especially the role of his artist wife played by Catherine Keener and a cameo by Dianne Wiest - brilliant screen portraits to match the stunning directing. Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. I cannot say it any better than Roger Ebert. Here are some of the words he wrote about it when he reviewed it in 2008: "I think you have to see Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York" twice. I watched it the first time and knew it was a great film and that I had not mastered it. The second time because I needed to. The third time because I will want to. It will open to confused audiences and live indefinitely. A lot of people these days don't even go to a movie once. There are alternatives. It doesn't have to be the movies, but we must somehow dream. If we don't "go to the movies" in any form, our minds wither and sicken. This is a film with the richness of great fiction. Like Suttree, the Cormac McCarthy novel I'm always mentioning, it's not that you have to return to understand it. It's that you have to return to realize how fine it really is. The surface may daunt you. The depths enfold you. The whole reveals itself, and then you may return to it like a talisman. Wow, is that ever not a "money review." Why will people hurry along to what they expect to be trash, when they're afraid of a film they think may be good? The subject of "Synecdoche, New York" is nothing less than human life and how it works. Using a neurotic theater director from upstate New York, it encompasses every life and how it copes and fails. Think about it a little and, my god, it's about you. Whoever you are."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Transcendent
*by J***R on January 31, 2026*

I could watch this deeply affecting, unexpectedly funny, actually transformative film every day and get something new out of it each time and each time I find something important that I hadn’t even realized had gone missing. It’s the first movie I recommend to friends, always. Hoffman gives the performance of a career and Charlie Kaufman’s screenplay explodes form.
