Collin TaylorHate films like this because they're so good I usually just don't know where to begin when I have to write about them. It's one of those that takes full advantage of the creative freedom that comes with filmmaking and reminds me why I love this art form so much. Not a…

what actually posesses someone to sit down and write a film like this? i have no words
rachMar 14, 2021i cannot imagine writing this and then having to approach john malkovich with this idea....
🌻 lindsay 🌻Jan 31, 2014Love how John Malkovich, in the midst of losing his marbles and getting ready for the loony bin, turns to Charlie Sheen for advice. That right there is when the film transcends from great, bizarre fun to a surrealistic masterpiece.

isn’t it fun when you watch something and you’re like “oh yeah creativity doesn’t have to have defined borders, the human mind can come up with anything”

I’m John Malkovich and I never signed off on them making this movie
nevan lovedBeing John Malkovichby far one of the strangest films i’ve ever had the pleasure of watching; incredibly unique, funny, and strangely ominous, with phenomenal writing and perfect performances from all, especially john malkovich. kaufman’s first work of genuine mastery
Monika is "meh" onBeing John MalkovichI liked the idea of the movie. But I found the dialogue a bit odd and was hard for me to like.

crazy
Ben Lecker lovedBeing John MalkovichThat was a trip. This movie was one of the craziest things I’ve seen in a while, proving the genius behind Charlie Kaufman. I loved every minute of this movie, the comedy, the intrigue, everything. John Cusack was amazing as well. Overall this movie was just fantastic, a 9/10.
youlovethat lovedBeing John MalkovichDarling, another classic masterpiece. Peak cinema. I didn’t expect for this movie to turn out like it did. I can’t believe I thought it was going to be a bore. DARLING. This movie is amazing, it has so many subplots I mean this is crazy amazing. WE NEED MORE LIKE THIS.

I normally like surrealistic movies, however this one just rubbed me the wrong way…or something. It could be, that I watched it at the wrong time in my life😅 What i remember was it being quite depressing. So I probably won’t watch it again…
Jacob Hall lovedBeing John MalkovichI first heard about this film when watching reviews on the movie Sorry to Bother You, and I must say, there has never been a film like this one. Sorry to Bother You has some similarities, but this is like a whole new genre of film
Paul lovedBeing John MalkovichA traumatized monkey? Ceilings made for hobbits? Trans Cameron Diaz? John Malkovich POV? The secret of immortality? Bald Charlie Sheen lookin’ like a Funko Pop? Bro… I need a hit of whatever Kaufman’s been mainlining.

Gloriously inventive, delightfully nutty comic treasure is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's lunatic.

I don't know how a movie this original got made today, but thank God for wonderful aberrations.

Newsweek
If we're allowed just a couple of truly singular discoveries in twelve months, it's a good year; when one of them is a film as exhilarating as Spike Jonze's feature debut, it's a banner year.
