Absolutely brilliant, nothing else like it....

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2004)

I went into this movie with a very "neutral" attitude, knowing virtually nothing about the movie other than having seen the trailer. I must say that this is one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen. At first, I thought it would be difficult to accept Jim Carrey in a serious role, but he was GREAT. I think Kate Winslet gave an oscar-worthy performance. The art direction is like nothing else I've ever seen. Miraculously, Michel Gondry manages to convey onto film the kinds of surreal yet confusing images and sequences that can normally be seen only in the most obscure and strangest of dreams. At times, I felt as though parts of my own dreams were being projected onto the big screen for all to see. This film is absolutely brilliant, worthy of a best-picture nomination.
