  Synecdoche is a bit too long and maybe a bit too indulgent of CF's desire to say everything he wants to say in it but it's an admirable debut (as well as being an admirable writing job) IMO.

    (it is hard to remember exact locations in such a muddle of a film) towards the last 1/3 where CC (though obviously Kaufman in anticipation of criticism) admits to a fixation upon the negative and his life and it is obviously Kaufman's attempt at a preemptive argument.
    Woody Allen's problems are interesting because of his humor in facing them; to open one's pus-filled (literally) wounds on camera for two hours, Steve, isn't particularly edifying, interesting, or of artistic merit.
    In a nutshell: this film is the equivalent of watching a teenage girl mutilate herself with a razor blade, hour after hour.
    I give it Five Zits.
