I don't feel I am capable of a just expository of this film. It is both difficult and brilliant. At the same moment I found myself asking what the heck just happened, I found myself longing to watch this movie again and again. There are simple truths harbored within this work and complexities that will have you searching and interpreting much like you would a classic painting. Synedoche New York is art in its highest and most challenging form. It is not a film for the casual movie renter, but a revelation for the film connoisseur.
