Not only is Jim Carrey the man, but if Kate Winslett was a man she’d be the man too. Visually, this movie was absolutely brilliant. Genius, to be exact. Story-wise, it was stunning and quite refreshing. The entire thing was done so magnificently that you really just have to watch it to have any idea what I’m talking about. The French dude who directed this movie is a pimp-magician with the camera; he used all camera tricks and very few (if any) special effects. This has to be one of the greatest movies I have seen in the past 6 months, and it’s definitely the best Focus Feature film I’ve ever watched in my life. Other movies from Focus Features include “Lost in Translation,” “Swimming Pool”, and “Vanity Fair,” all of which totally sucked, and I haven’t even seen the last one. This is a 5-flame movie.
