Don't read critics. Watch the film.

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2004)

I LOVED this movie, and I don't say that about many movies. It's a movie for anyone that's ever been in love and even for those that have become hardened by love's disappointing nature. Not "Hollywood's version" of love, but really felt a genuine connection with someone...the doubting, the questioning, the passion and emotion...then had it all dashed by a devastating break up. I left the theater remembering my own relationships and how dark and unique they have all been. The secrecy and stifled screams of the heart. Carrey is brilliant and doesn't pull any of his usual physical comedy stunts or famous 'one-liners', his image is matured in this film and Winslet is as deep and beautiful as always. Credit goes where credit is due...Kaufman is a genius.
