"I will not settle for anything less than the brutal truth" and indeed Kaufman made a film that is more brutal and truthful than anything I have ever seen. Sometimes the misery is almost unbearable. The result is a film about me and about you. Just little persons in a sea of many little people, just as Synecdoche (=Schenectady) is a little town in big New York.

An incredible movie, with amazing screenplay and directing as well as quite believable acts. The first movie of screenwriting maestro Charlie Kaufman as a director. Although it seems to tell a theater set story, It is a show about the life itself, which shows how similar we as human beings can be, while playing each others' roles, and yet we have completely wrong perspectives of one another in our mind sometimes

I like how you get tangled up in the different layers of reality and consciousness, even if it gets too convoluted at times. The surrealism just feels pointless and out of place though, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman somehow manages to evoke no pathos whatsoever. Maybe that's intentional - that he's too solipsistic to really sympathise with, but I think it blunts whatever point Kaufman's trying to make.

Could be a movie that changes my life, or could be a movie that will make me mad in a few days and I'll look back on grudgingly. It's too early to find out, but I know that this is one of the technically best films I've ever seen. It brought forth a lot of thought and emotion that I didn't expect. Just wow.

I have had an unpleasant aftertaste after Kaufman's films before, but this one is a champion. It gets locked in its sick logic and becomes very annoying and even predictable in its own way. If I understand right, Kaufman despises all forms of art (at least in their present state), at least, it is hinted all over this movie. So watching his movie is like listening a preacher who despises God. Why staying in the business, if its so painful?
