9/10
Another kind of romance
26 December 2023
Although it is more or less an exaggeration in the context of the character arc, this movie made me recall the ending of a famous quote by Carl Jung: ,,within every beast, a saint". And even if Mr. Udall (Jack Nicholson's character) is never really getting that close to the threshold of holiness, the change that happens in his character across the movie is surreal. I would even classify it as a tad unrealistic, but all in all ''As Good as It Gets'' is undoubtedly a depiction of the protagonist's tumultuous way to a romance in relationship to himself.

Apart from the main character, I would also like to praise Helen Hunt's acting. Her character is simply the quintessence of enchantment. I watched this chef d'oeuvre on Christmas and it was a decision I will never regret.
