Original and entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2004)

The beginning of this film had me wondering if I'd understand it. Seemed as though we'd been dropped in the middle of something big...but what? Once the opening credits began to roll things started making more sense. I don't want to give it away but this is a must watch. With vague overtones of another great movie (Memento), most of this is filmed in a backward sort of state and though a bit confusing, the mind does adjust. The performances by both Winslet and Carrey were excellent and clearly well thought out and practiced. Funny, sad at times and original, this is well worth watching at least once, if not repeatedly.
8/10
