Someday we'll see this was just a stepping stone

Stephen Gaghan wrote this script. He is so brilliant that I couldn't even read the script and get everything straight. Not because it was poorly written either. It was amazing.
However, watching this movie, I felt it was too simple and didn't concentrate on the different characters enough.
I get the same feeling from Stephen Gaghan's movies that I did while watching early Charlie Kaufman movies like Being John Malkovich or Adaptation. I wanted to like them, but I knew he could do better than that. Then Charlie Kaufman gave us Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Synecdoche, NY is looking to be another great flick.
I am hoping that Stephen Gaghan's masterpiece will occur in the next 2-4 years so we can realize the scope of his brilliance.
