Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Synecdoche, New York (out now) is about a depressed theatre director (Philip Seymour Hoffman) trying to create a life defining play. Charlie Kaufman is my favourite screenwriter (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine) but this is a little too "out there" and confusing for my liking. Grade: B.
