I seem to be a verb

This is the ultimate movie for all those who make their own lives hard. For tormented artists suffering from the human condition. For those who react more than they act. Those who constantly doubt or even loathe themselves, who overanalyze, who set themselves up for failure by holding themselves to unreachably high standards, and who wallow in regret and depression.

Not only is that what the main character does: The movie itself (or if you prefer, director Charlie Kaufman [Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]) does, too.

It's a massive, sprawling, layered, complex, symbolic, wonderful mess of a movie, and it uses the possibilities of the medium to the last drop.
