"Adaptation" was a beautiful, moving film that goes awry in the last 20 minutes.
I know that Jonze and Kaufman like to shock audiences, but the way in which they decided to conclude this film was disappointing.
Please see the film. It's wonderfully crafted and the performances are exceptional. Take special note of Cage's performance. Streep proved magnificent in an understated way. Chris Cooper is one of the finest actors working today.
But, on a whole, the third act destroys this film. The irony is that the third act becomes everything that Charlie Kaufman despises about the movies.
