Flawless

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2004)

Having waited months for this to come out, I feared an anti climax.
This film is, however, fantastic. It is without doubt the best Romance I have ever seen, if in fact it can be classified as such. I am at a loss as to how Charlie Kaufman creates such amazing, compelling, intricate, clever and engaging films.
Jim Carrey deserves the highest of praise for such a fantastic performance, lost in a dark world of his own memories. I have great respect for the man. Kate Winslet also put in an amazing performance as the unstable, impulsive and insecure Clementine.
I think the thing I loved most about this film was I could watch it and enjoy every moment, safe in the knowledge that the genius that is Kaufman would pull the whole film together right in front of my eyes, effortlessly turn everything on its head and leave me with a sense of completion and something to spend the next week thinking about.
There are too many memorable scenes to count and I don't wish to spoil any part of it. I do however love the scene within his memories in the library.
So, in a word, brilliant, end to end.
