Amazing Film

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2006)

This film is in my opinion one of the best I have ever seen or will see within my lifetime. I was recommend to see this by a friend and at first I had trepidations about Jim Carreys ability to act comfortably and well within a serious role, this assumption was completely wrong.
The acting by the lead Jim Carrey and his opposite Kate Winslet was strong, warm, compassionate and made me forget I was watching a written film with actors in it. Both cast members made me care for the characters they were playing in such a way that I have not felt while watching any other film. Their performance was believable and made me feel as though I wanted to help them in any way I could, the chemistry on camera was perfect and the film was one of the best I have seen.
The only negative was that when I was watching I would look at Elijah Wood's character and Kirsten Dunst's and feel as though was just watching them talk and act, I did not feel much for their characters or feel that their roles were fluently acted. Saying this however I should say that the roles they had to play were complex roles and possibly within the future they could easily perform better in a similar situation once they have gained a little more experience.
The interlocking nature of every character within this well thought out and planned film was great and it was a hugely enjoyable experience. The film makes you think about if you were to have your memories of ones you love taken and you feel deeply entangled within the idea of the film yourself.
This is an amazing film and well worth watching whenever you get the chance.
