I think that this film really was able to capture the feeling of being inside of the mind and also kept track of the little things that tie our experiences together. Some techniques felt a little inconsistent as the director would use something once and then it doesn't show up again. This can be tricky when dealing with "heady" movies because the rules go out the window as soon as we start dealing with the psyche.
The only part of the filmmaking that didn't work for me was when he brings her back into his childhood. Under the table started to get a little weird, but the sink bit seemed like an "In Living Color" skit. I think that they are important scenes and played about as well as they could be, but it is hard to put Jim Carrey into rediculous environments (like being bathed in a giant sink) without it feeling over the top. These scenes borderlined on silliness with the dialog and it was the only time in the movie where I felt like I was watching Jim Carrey and not the character.
