Take no prisoners Charlie

Charlie Kaufman strikes again in this riotous satire on contemporary society, taking aim at Psychologists, Ecologists, Dwarfs, Carnival side shows, French women, lab mice, congressional hearings, and just about everything else. The acting is priceless with bravura performances from Rhys Ifans... Full review

A mix of lightly presented, social damning satire and fun sight gags make this movie a pretty good view. A lot of the humor is understated and subtle so don't expect a laugh fest. There are a few very good laughs.... Full review

Every great film maker is allowed mistakes (Kevin Spacey in "the life of David gale") Charlie Kaufman is a brilliantly original screen writer. I just think that he got a little swept up in the popularity of "Being John Malkovich." He... Full review

it became merely a pretty good film.....Rewatching Human Nature eight years on, the film's bone-deep sadness resonates more strongly than its cerebral comedy of manners.....In public demonstrations engineered by Robbins, Ifans dazzles audiences with his refinement and incredible tale of personal improvement, but in private, Ifans fucks whores....So forget, for a moment, the shrug of mild disappointment that greeted Human Nature 's release....As a child, I used to look forward to Movieline 's annual list of ...

A wonderfully wacky, weird satirical comedy that is hit and miss.....Risky, totally insane, at times brilliant, and absolutely original, Human Nature is a trip.....Superb editing and credible performances by a top cast allow us to take the leap.....Those aspects, coupled with a genuine, big heart, make the film a curiosity instead of a disaster.....Human Nature is a compelling mix of the outlandish..... ...

Risky, totally insane, at times brilliant, and absolutely original, Human Nature is a trip.
What a great dinner guest Kaufman would be!
But when you see that its Charlie Kaufmans pen at work, it is hardly a surprise.

In "Human Nature," the first of his back-to-back collaborations with screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, Gondry turned Patricia Arquette into a grotesquely furry Yeti.
While his films give the feel of spontaneous, instinctive creativity, Gondry finds that improvisation works best in a context of careful preparation.
