Gregg Goldstein says Synecdoche could benefit from some further editing. He's probably right, but "Any feature that dares to run more than two hours risks provoking reflexive groans from audiences and even most critics"? Really? Our attention spans are that flimsy now? Jesus.

Kaufman explained that after the film was cut to three hours, there was more than one version he assembled with different scenes to whittle it to its 124-minute length. And despite his reputation for an uncompromising vision, he said he'd be amenable to further editing depending on which distributor picks up the film for North America. (Source)
