Synecdoche, New York .....about a 4

I'm always fascinated by the abilities of Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I found this "metaphor" to be overdone and more a mind game of how much you can figure out than a good film. Sold out theaters in Europe but Americans are either too obsessed with action thrillers to waste their time on something different or too stupid to read the title and automatically assume it's a foreign film. A first night run here was me, Red and five others. Oh, there were also 4 more who left 30 minutes before it ended to catch Medea because the earlier Medea showing had been sold out and they wiled away their time before the next showing with us. Don't waste your time, unless you're like me.
