Fuck I love this film. I always say that Annie Hall is my favourite film but this one might just be a close second. It’s such a beautiful way to do a love story. It’s sad, smart, heart-breaking. I love the scenes that drift between memory and commentary on memory - it’s such a meta device and used so effortlessly and brilliantly. It’s, in my mind, one of the best screenplays of the last decade or so - but the directed of Gondrey is so perfect and matches so well. Jim Carrey is phenomenal here and Kate Winslet is magical - the two of them together is such a beautiful thing - the casting of them is inspired, as is everyone else. If you’ve never seen this film stop everything. Get on it. In my opinion it’s required viewing - especially for anyone who loves films about relationships.
