★★★★ Synecdoche, New York

[Gino: 4.0]

Gino says: 'It's a tough pill to swallow, even with high doses of dark humor. But this movie is certainly something, and I was impressed. I won't try to describe it. Probably it is only a 3.5 star movie, but we have a little-known rule at cinemojo.net, where any movie which has Emily Watson playing Samantha Morton, whose character is being directed by an actor playing Philip Seymour Hoffman directing someone playing Emily Watson playing Samantha Morton, gets and extra half star. The rule doesn't come up much. If that sounds interesting you, and if you think of life as a fleeting unfulfilled moment between non-existence and death, please watch this film. '
