Critic Reviews of "Adaptation"
Time OutJune 24, 2006For two-thirds of its running time the film is close to genius. But there's still no third act.
Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionApril 27, 2003It's the sort of movie that keeps reinventing itself and nudging us in the ribs as it does. You'll want to see it soon, because everyone you know will be talking about it.
New York Magazine/VultureJanuary 16, 2003Few recent movies have conveyed so forcefully how people can feel shut out by their own lack of passion, how they yearn to end the emptiness.
Houston ChronicleJanuary 10, 2003Mired in the inertia of Charlie's writer's block, as if the real Kaufman never found his own passion for the material.
Orlando SentinelJanuary 09, 2003One-of-a-kind near-masterpiece.
Washington PostDecember 20, 2002Adaptation may not be the first movie to examine the creative process. But it's the most playfully brilliant.
Matt's Movie ReviewsDecember 29, 2010A fine accomplishment from all involved, especially Charlie Kauffman, who has written a bewildering and captivating movie, which bares his mind, heart and soul.
Suite101.comSeptember 25, 2010At all times, "Adaptation." carries the thrillingly unpredictable charge of a film writing itself before your eyes. Spike Jonze matches Charlie Kaufman's tumble through time, neuroticism, fact and fiction with depictions of creation at a cellular level.
EmanuelLevy.ComDecember 30, 2009An impressive follow-up to Being John Malkovich, Adaptation is even more playful, amusing, metanarrative and metaphysical than Jonze's first film, plus it has Nicolas Cage in a dual role and Meryl Streep in one of her wildest turns.
Film4March 13, 2009Adaptation would all be insufferably clever-clever were its motivation not so genuine. Instead it is experimental, funny, with a tightly-repressed anger and a desire to dig out truth rather than take refuge in the usual artifice.
