A remarkable screenplay with a crappy storytelling

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2018)

The screenplay is undoubtedly smart and imaginative, with a quite interesting and fun premise on memory erasure. However, the movie is not executed well, particularly in the storytelling. The nonlinear storytelling is just unnecessary, making the movie chaotic and confusing. Also, most of the time is put in the memory erasing process of Joel (Jim Carrey), and this unbalanced narration further exacerbates the film.
