an excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2004)

For those who enjoy a film that wakes your imagination, this is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. The plot is consuming, the acting is superb, and the screenplay compels the viewer to become emotionally linked to the actors.
Without giving too much away, it asks the question "if you could erase a lover from your memory, would you?" Jim Carey wrestles with that question in regard to a failed relationship with Kate Winslett. I must admit that I was not interested in any of Winslet's previous films, but was impressed with her effort in "Spotless." And think that Carey is coming into his own as a dramatic actor, (see "The Majestic").
It is my wish that Hollywood would spend more time making films of this caliber, but perhaps the thing that makes it so special is that it is a departure from the norm.
