Most helpful review Being John Malkovich

  • how do you review a film like this ?

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Richard from Walsall, England , 22 Jan 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Original, weird or just thought provoking that is some of the thoughts that will enter your mind as you view this movie. The concept of being in control/being controlled is the central theme of this film and without giving too much away the exploration of this theme is done in an ingenious way.

    The cast are superb , Cameron Diaz has never looked so different and the director gets top performances from them all.

    If you enjoy films that make you think or are different from your normal run of the mill blockbuster then this is for you.

    This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm not usually into weird, but this is weird good! Wouldn't you like to be someone else for a while? All these people want to be John Malkovich and when you watch the film, you will want to be too.

  • A beguiling watch!

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    This film has such depth and humour; it is a great film. The humour is just perfectly placed throughout the film. The drama is scary, gripping, and deep. The story is an incredibly original piece, and I was shocked to see how well it played out. The acting is magnificent: John Cusack is brilliant, John Malkovich is just plain hilarious as he spends most of the film mocking himself. Just brilliant.

    It was a weird film, but worth watching. I love John Malkovich. This is very different and random. If you are normal, then you wont get it. This is so funny. More films like this please.

  • Gave up trying to find out what being John was

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer , 23 Oct 2012
    Neither my husband or I could get into this film. As a lot of people seemed to find it really funny/entertaining we stuck with it waiting to see what it was that was so appealing.

    Maybe you just have to have a certain type of sense of humour for this film. We have liked Life of Brian and other comedies so we are not stuffy. It seemed really slow and so in the end we gave up. Is it one of those love or loath it films?

    I wonder if you need to have known more info about John Malkovich in thhe first place?? Sorry John
