  • Film as Abstract Art

    If you feel intellectually fulfilled by spending time trying to dechipher a piece of abstract art, or following a jazz session, this movie may appeal to you. If you prefer storylines you can follow, this movie will strain your sensibilities. Jim Carrey's acting captured the chaos, randomness & loneliness that can sometimes siphon off the joy & playfulness in a romantic connection. It resembled a patchwork quilt, a piece of new fiction that makes the reader flip pages back & forth to try to recall the chronology. As a film, I found it demanding,not engaging, & the indoor scenes screamed out for editing. Not a mood lifting film.

    This movie is thought provoking, amazing and just captures what love is and how you interpret it. Without putting only spoilers out there however you interpret the ending as shows how you view love. For me, I’m a hopeless romantic so the ending for me I interpreted is that love… love is hard. It makes you vulnerable, it’s so frickin’ scary but love is so beautiful at the same time. Love is not always sunshine and rainbows because love will be like that only if you’re looking through rose tinted sunglasses. I’m not saying love should be miserable no, love should be fun! But if all you’re doing is going for having fun, are you even in love are you just infatuated? That’s what the movie has taught me. It hurts you right in the gut, slaps and punches you in every direction but in a way… it changed how I view love. Such wonderful acting, so real and raw. Wishing for more movies like these! I’m a big overthinker so this movie is literally for me haha

    An amazing movie. So entertaining, unpredictable and original. Great all star cast. Not a dull moment. I love how Jim Carrey completes immerses himself in his role. This may contain his best acting ever.This film is worth seeing over and over again.

    really unique movie and so well done. jim carrey plays a very introverted role, unlike the crazy, over-the-top characters he usually plays. kate winslet is the goofball, wild child in this one. despite being polar opposites, personality-wise, they end up being a couple but break up and on a whim, kate goes to a place to have her memory wiped of their relationship. jim finds out and does the same thing, out of spite, but in the middle of the process, regrets it and tries to prevent the erasure of his memory of their relationship from happening. i won't give the rest away but it's a great story with great performances. i can't think of another movie like this. it was truly unique and definitely not what you'd expect from jim and probably not from kate, either. i really feel they went out of their comfort zones yet still knocked it out of the park.
  • Love this movie!
