Editorial Reviews

Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) is a struggling street puppeteer. In order to make some money, Craig takes a job as a filing clerk. One day he accidentally discovers a door… a portal into the mind of John Malkovich (played by John Malkovich)! For 15 minutes, he experiences the ultimate head trip – HE is John Malkovich! Then he’s dumped out onto the New Jersey turnpike! With his beautiful office mate Maxine (Catherine Keener) and his pet-obsessed wife (Cameron Diaz), they hatch a plan to let others into John’s brain for just $200 a trip. See what all the critics are talking about.

    2.0 out of 5 starsHuge failure from Criterion
    By Taras on January 15, 2017
    Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
    Being John Malkovich is my all-time favorite film - this review is in reference to the Criterion edition. Like most criterions, some of the special features are obviously filler, here you get a short doc on puppetry to that effect. The interview insert is a pointless self-indulgent piece by rag-mag personality Perkus Tooth, ostensibly interviewing Spike Jonze, but as the entire piece is a joke and Jonze' responses are never more than a single line, it feels more like being trolled. By far the biggest disaster, however, is the commentary track. Neither Jonze nor Kaufmann were available for Criterion's time table, apparently, so they sat down filmmaker rival Michel Gondry for about 40 mins to do a "select-scene commentary". The result is embarassing. Gondry forgets the names of actors, wonders aloud if they're dead now, asks aloud why he's doing the commentary and whether his will be the only one on the dvd (he hopes not, so did we). He's also unbearable sexist. At one point he actually calls Jonze up and says "I've run out of s--t to say, any ideas?" The phone call lasts the rest of the commentary; if Jonze was able to take the phone call, why wasn't he able to do the commentary? There are only two positives to this edition: the 4K remastering, and the (too brief) behind-the-scenes doc. If you already have the BR in another edition, or you want to upgrade the DVD, then it's recommended with gross reservations.

    5.0 out of 5 starsJonze's First and Best
    By Collin O'Donnell on June 10, 2014
    Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
    It's unjust to review this film after only one viewing, but here we go anyway. Being John Malkovich, the world's first glimpse at Charlie Kaufman's brilliant and twisted mind, is an incredibly original and confident debut. If a lesser writer were to tackle the same exact premise of this film, the results would probably be disastrous and nonsensical. The triumph of the film is mostly due to Kaufman's belief and dedication to his off-the-wall material. He handles big philosophical ideas through elements of humor, fantasy, and escapism, a wonderful clash of styles. Chock full of symbolism, most of it dealing with manipulation, lack of identity, and repression, Being John Malkovich is one of those films a hip professor would show their students in a philosophy/film course 101 and murder it through dissection. Spike Jonze also made an auspicious feature length debut with this film. Whereas Kaufman is most creative on the page, Jonze's field of comfort is the screen, and he proves that with his unique camerawork and strong visual eye. His brilliance shines through in the directing of the puppeteering scenes and most prominently, the sequence in which Lotte and Maxine enter into and travel through Malkovich's subconscious. And the acting, my god! John Cusack is hilarious and pathetic as a very David Foster Wallace-esque character. Cameron Diaz is surprisingly great as Cusack's animal-loving and possibly transsexual wife. Catherine Keener's screen presence is enormous as the seductive and bazaar Maxine. And shining with his name in the title, John Malkovich gives a stunning performance in probably one of the strangest roles an actor can take in his career. He channels a pitiful puppeteer channeling Malkovich with eery exactitude.Read more ›

    5.0 out of 5 starsDelves into the mystique of the metaphysical
    By Donald H. on June 5, 2016
    Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
    Centers around three main characters: Craig (John Cusack), Maxine (Catherine Keener), and John Malkovich (himself). Craig takes a job at Lestercorp where Maxine also works, and he can't resist feeling an attraction for her. She flaunts her sexuality at him; she's a tease, and he desperately wants to consummate an affair with her. Maxine is intimately involved with John Horatio Malkovich, one of the most renown American actors of the 20th Century. Craig is obsessed and quite by accident discovers a portal, a channel, into the body of Malkovich. Craig then gets to fulfill his lustful desires and experience the erotic pleasures of lovemaking with Maxine vicariously through Malkovich.

    OK. Pitch this movie:
    This guy accidentally finds a "portal" into the mind of John Malkovich. Yes, THAT John Malkovich. You know, the guy in that spy movie. Anyway, this guy starts selling tickets, and the fun ensues! Oh, sure. There's fun, and drama, and intrigue along the way - we'll figure out that stuff later; but that's the basic concept. So how's about you lending me, oh say, about ten million dollars to get this thing off the ground? You will? Awesome!
    How did this movie get made? I don't know; but I'm sure glad it did. I don't have an answer for why it couldn't have been Tom Cruise (or anyone else for that matter); but it works out just fine that it's John Malkovich. The characters, while brilliantly played by Keener, Cusack, and Diaz, are not particularly lovable; but then, that's sort of the whole point - how we have a tendency to "use" one another. Favorite line from the movie (said by Charlie Sheen):
    "Hot lesbian witches! It's f***ing genius!"
    I won't try to explain this movie beyond that; but you will enjoy it. You might say, "wait, what?" a couple of times; but it's a fun ride. And it's a whole lot more than being John Malcovich. Just sayin'.
