She's bored but snaps awake when he finds a portal leading inside John Malkovich: for 15 minutes you see, hear, and feel whatever JM is doing, then you fall out by the New Jersey Turnpike... (imdb)

Any statement about a search for identity through puppeteering or otherwise falls flat because the scifi concepts are mostly just there to be cool and don't work to further the themes. A lot of characters, notably the two female leads, don't really have a distinct identity to begin with and are left to be scifi plotting fodder. Jonze's directing is serviceable but on a script this weird I feel you need some bolder visual cues to really sell the scifi conceits (e.g. low ceiling office).

R - Very enjoyable, utterly crazy idea but the film entirely commits to it. The cast are great, the characters' actions just about believable all the way along.
