Great surreal movie about relationships and life in general. For me, it was one of the easier surreal movies to understand. When you're used to David Lynch, Charlie Kaufman is a breath of fresh air. I may only think I understand it because I'm interpreting this movie in my own way, but that's the whole idea of a surreal movie. The point is, there weren't many things in the movie that made me think "why the hell was that put in the movie?" Everything pretty much made sense as a metaphor, if not in the moment, then by the end of the movie. And that made it enjoyable in a different way than most movies like this.

Yes it is slow. Yes it is weird. When it's surreal, that's pretty much always what you'll get. But if you like introspection, if you like darkness, if you like seeing things that make you think, then this movie is for you. If not, there's plenty of other stuff out there.

That being said, the choice for the 3rd act finale was.... just bad. [spoiler]Not a fan of singing in movies unless it's funny.[/spoiler] But that by no means ruins the movie.
