Absolutely Gorgeous

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2004)

apparently not everyone can appreciate the simplicity and power of this movie, but i thought it was easily one of the best of the year. besides excellent performances from jim carrey (in an actual, good semi-dramatic role), kate winslet, and kirsten dunst, the special effects are stunning and unique. michele gondry is a music video director and it's great to see his talent there extends to a longer format.
for me though, the best part of this movie wasn't in the movie, it was in my own and everyone else i know who saw it's reactions. almost everyone can relate to the excitement of new love, and the animal-like fear of it being taken away.
