Strong Carrey performance and well written

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2004)

I certainly don't want to spoil this movie for folks who haven't seen it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. On my way to the cinema I heard the NPR review of it and the reviewer described it as potentially the most clever movie since Memento. While, I don't think this movie is a Memento rip-off, there are certain similarities.
Jim Carrey (and the rest of the cast, truly) turns in his most adroit performance that I've seen. He is charming and witty (which is normal) and also haunted and cloistered. Kate Winslet also does an excellent job.
If you've liked other Kaufman movies, you'll love this one as well.
