the most amazing movie I have seen in a very long time

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

This movie is so amazing! I loved absolutely every minute of this and am actually going to see it again, something I NEVER do!! From the opening scene I was totally into the movie. It is so beautifully shot and acted and Jim Carey brings something to the screen that we haven't seen from him before. He is nuanced and honest and subtle. I thought that Lost in Translation was fantastic but this blew that out of the water. I find myself, days later, replaying scenes in my head and feeling so moved from the overall meaning of the film, which is that love is complicated and hopeful and always worthwhile just for being the experience that it is and moving us and shaping us like it does. I absolutely recommend this to anyone but I will concede a few things. It is a little obscure, not complicated per se but, like Memento, you may not fully understand everything happening while you are watching it which makes it an even more interesting picture. But, if you are not into movies that you have to think about, as Britney Spears was quoted as saying at last year's Sundance, don't go. Go see Starsky and Hutch instead.
