A comedy about impulses, sex, civilisation and what it is to be civilised, which is more cynical than profound. The interplay of the main characters, their motivation and background is inspired, the cast brilliant, but what it lacks is a final unification to elevate it above the level of a sophisticated romp. You'll laugh, wince and maybe even cry, but perhaps you'll leave with the impression of having missed something.

This is the Charlie Kaufman script that's quirky without having a strong narrative backbone. It often just feels random and tonally uneven, which doesn't help the story, but gives it some oddball charm. Can't say I regret watching it.
