When your heart won't let you forget...

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2004)

I absolutely loved this movie. It has hit me so hard, and made me think about what I thought love was all about. Why do we make it so hard just to love someone else? Jim Carrey is abfab in this flick, as is Kate Winslet. Even the background players, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Raffalo and Elijah Wood do a great job. It makes your heart hurt for a quarter of what it is possible to have. The filming is somewhat confusing in the beginning, but the viewer quickly catches up to speed with what is going on. All handheld camera work, the wobbly picture is what love is really like. It's like being unsure and tepid, as we are in life. The ending is nicely open-ended, and it leaves a lot for the viewer to think about.
