Being John Malkovich was brilliant. At times hilarious and surreal, serious and absurd, yet constantly clever and original, the movie never fails to surprise or entertain. The acting's great, the directing's suitably subtle but what shines most is the script. Charlie Kaufman is a genius and this is easily one of the most inventive and unique movies I've ever seen.

While there are many movies about self discovery, self growth and identity, not many (if really any) have taken the approach of 'Being John Malkovich'. The general premise of the movie is: struggling More
