After their relationship sours, Joel (Jim Carrey) undergoes a procedure to erase all memories of his former love Clementine (Kate Winslet) after discovering she has done the same. As memories become lost, only then do they realize what they had to begin with. Carrey is perfect as socially inept Joel. Winslett shines as neurotic Clementine who's hair changes as often as her mood. Charlie Kaufman did us all a favor in dazzling us with the human mind in all is complexities and all of its beautiful possibilities.
I love this movie, but you'll only love it if you enjoy the existential. One of Carrey's finest.
