Absolutely Mesmerizing

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2004)

I only want to comment on the movie by saying it was a pure delight. Barring no surprises this fall, I strongly expect this movie to not only be nominated for Best Picture, but actually have a chance at winning it. By far Carrey and Winslet's finest acting. A real treat. The basic synopsis for the movie is Winslet in a fit of rage over her relationship with Carrey decides to seek out a "memory wipe" over the whole ordeal. Carrey, feeling sad and betrayed, seeks out the same procedure. The big problem is this: All memories of the loved one are wiped out including the good stuff. Carrey realizes this only too late and in a last ditch effort, tries to manipulate the procedure while within his own mind. This leads to all kinds of nifty tricks, stunning visuals, and great plot twists. The movie's end is nifty and doesn't ring false. The screenplay is terrific. Don't miss this movie!
