Welcome to Marwen (2018)


 

A victim of a brutal attack finds a unique and beautiful therapeutic outlet to help him through his recovery process.

Well-intentioned and heartfelt drama based on a true story presents some great special effects and godd performances by Carrell and Mann, but there's an unbalance between its fantasy and reality segments, so that the real-life scenes seem more artificial than the imagined ones.

I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)



A cop turns con man once he comes out of the closet. Once imprisoned, he meets the second love of his life, whom he'll stop at nothing to be with.

Offkilter romantic tragicomedy has a few hilarious moments and a typically outrageously over-the-top Jim Carrey performance, but as whole it's more unnerving than entertaining.

Maltin***: "Continuously surprising blend of comedy and drama features what is arguably Carrey's all-time best performance."
