I haven’t been drawn to Charlie Kaufman’s movies (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), at least the ones he’s written.  So I can’t say that I’m falling over myself to see his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York.  However, I do admire the Times’ film critic, Manohla Dargis, and she gave the movie nothing short of a rave this morning. 

Hmmm.
