Kaufman, Carry give career performances

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2004)

First of all, I'm a huge Charlie Kaufman fan. All of his work is interesting, inventive, and always totally original. This is a great idea for a film, with time going backwards in the relationship until the ironically climatic...meeting? You will laugh, think, and relate to this quirky romantic comedy. Kate Winslet is flawless as the eccentric young bookstore worker that is the film's catalyst. A must see; Kaufman's best work as he explores the balance between a painful memory and no memory at all. This is a film that it helps to see twice...you might want to take notes! Also explores a few interesting angles on this premise with an excellent supporting cast.
