Still one of my favorite movies ever.
Best Winslet and Carrey EVER.
Still waiting for someone to write Winslet a role again that really stretches her and reveals vibrancy of her talents like this one did.
Clementine Kruczynski is somehow both the apex of Winslet’s career and the last time I ever truly loved her in anything (though she’s had her moments since). If she’d won Best Actress for it, she’d probably still be doing outré projects like this. I feel like she took the wrong message from that Reader win.
Winslet's 43rd birthday today.
My #1 movie of all time
...and to add a little more to that, my favorite scene is the voiceover (recorded on set) of child Joel and Clementine playing outside the house, and realizing they will grow up someday.. I wish I knew you when I was a kid..
A true classic from start to finish. Waiting for the film to be released on Criterion and I want to see Kate Winslet in more roles like this.
She's aged out of playing a character like this unless someone envisions what happens to these women when they age.
This is my favorite film by both Gondry and Kaufman, whose wacky, too-arch story approaches often leave me cold. Besides the leads, the whole supporting cast - Dunst, Wood, Ruffalo, Wilkinson - are in great form. It's a very interesting and moving film.
And the sequence at around the 38-minute mark, where Joel follows Clementine past a row of stores and somehow finds himself back on the corner at the start of the block while all the signs on the stores vanish... was shot on the block in Yonkers where I grew up! I lived in the first house past the stores, which you can sort of see as Clementine disappears in the distance. I literally fell off the couch the first time I saw it!
Winslet + Carrey exceptional here. Carrey desparately needs a career rebound right about now, he’s such a good dramatic and comedic actor.
Huh : I guess his new Showtime series Kidding is quite good.
One of my favorite movies !
BAFTA got it right with this film.
