Not just a film, it's an experience

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2005)

This movie is captivating. Kudos to everyone involved, especially Charlie Kaufman, Michael Gondry, Jim Carey and Kate Winslet. Carey and Winslet break the mold and transform themselves into two characters completely unlike anything they've played before. They both give the best performances of their lives. The writing is amazing, full of emotional depth, subtleties, humor and darkness. It takes you through an emotional and visual train ride (or train wreck) of a dysfunctional relationship bringing the audience to a deeper understanding of the value of experiences, both good and bad, and a person's subconscious. It is my absolute favorite, and gets better every time.
