Preface to my thoughts on this film: Anything with Mark Ruffalo in it is automatically worthy of your time. When oh when will someone cast Rufalo and Kevin Corrigan as brothers in some sort of cross-country crime caper? Anyway, I found this gimmick-heavy picture to just zip along like a great guitar solo. I found myself engaged by the schtick of the mind-twist story, tickled by the many camera (and computer) tricks and moved by the spotlight on the fragments that make up a relationship. I’m sure someone else said it, but if Philip K. Dick wrote “Annie Hall, ” it would look like this. The characters do take a back seat to the gimmick here — but Winslet and Carrey do a good job making something from nothing. There was enough there there for Ann and I to agree that they’d surely break up again in a few weeks. When was the last time you actually talked the lives of a film’s characters after the credits rolled? I liked this movie an awful lot, though wouldn’t argue with someone if they thought it was facile. And more of a full, emotional experience than “Being John Malkovich” or “Adaptation.” I intend to see Kaufman’s other two produced screenplays, especially “Human Nature,” also directed by Gondry.
