In Cold Souls, Paul Giamatti plays Paul Giamatti, a man who utilizes a soul storage service in order to fully encapsulate a character he plays in a famous Russian stage play. However, complications arise causing his soul to conflict with the black market. This is very much a meta-movie in the same vein as Being John Malkovich. Though the premise is definitely an intriguing and entertaining one the gritty indie movie vibe that the director goes for does not compliment it at all. Ultimately, the soul of the movie has its quirky charm, it’s just engulfed in the wrong body.
