"One of my favorite movies with my favorite actors. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are wonderful here. Jim Carrey with his acting was very impressive. It was unexpected and very cool to see him in a dramatic role", — SleepyFox.

"Interesting perspective on the changing relationship to each other over time", — dust_space.

"There's something about it after all. Beautifully shot, all those colorful memory tosses in the main character deserve a huge bow to the graphic designers and other creative people who worked on the picture. Besides, it made me think about the fact that moments lived with some people are so damn important, you don't have to rush to burn bridges and you should enjoy and cherish the moment, my friend. Because it can be truly beautiful and unique, but most likely you'll only realize it when it's a piece of memory from the distant past", — g1291858.

I wanted to watch this mesmerizing picture more and more", — blacki3.
