This is an absolute unicorn of a movie. Utterly brilliant in its exploration of heartbreak. The acting (Jim Carreys best performance plus Kate Winslet in lead plus a stellar supporting cast of Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson and Elijah Wood all on 🔥), capricious and delicately whimsical direction from Michel Gondry, and Charlie Kaufmans most human screenplay. The disjointed chronology is a perfect way of telling how two humans wanting to erase the slow dissolution of a relationship while still clinging to the positive moments is executed amazingly. No matter how many times I watch it I still find myself screaming at the characters to make different choices and am always left in tears when it inevitably falls apart All the feels of loves lost without unnecessary pretentious heavy handedness Could not recommend more strongly!
