The meandering script is actually full of subtle character moments and affirmations of life and love. The film's unique premise is enough to intrigue, but the rest of the movie backs up its promise with a colorful script, enchanting cast, beautiful photography, and some powerful thematic explorations about what it means to fall (and stay) in love. Jim Carrey gives, hands down, the best dramatic performance of his career. |

Breaks the conventions of what is considered to be a 'romantic comedy'. Original take on the aftermath and reflection of a relationship, told in a unique way. Funny and emotional. Great film. |

I think this is the best movie made in the last ten years, maybe more. There are lots of recent movies that feature great acting, screenplay, direction, but don't offer much that's completely new and different. There are more and more movies that try to do something really new and different but seem botched or all form/no substance--show-offy. This one gets it right. A totally different cinema experience with great acting and a lot of substance. |

"Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" by Yojimbo |
|
A shy young man finds that his ex girlfriend has physically erased their relationship from her memory and decides to follow suit. Featuring a screenplay by the king of quirky Charlie Kaufman, Eternal Sunshine is that rarest of beasts; a Hollywood film that is smart, creative and above all, original. Visually very inventive, there are some really nice touches throughout the film often used with great subtlety in the background and it's a very intelligent deconstruction (literally) of a relationship and it's decline. Kate Winslet is every over-educated under-achieving heterosexual man's wet dream (particularly if you have a penchant for neurotic booze hounds with bad dye jobs...*ahem*) and Carrey is at his least irritating, offering by far his best performance. Despite having one foot in th... |

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind review |
|
Jim Carrey as the shy Joel and Kate Winslet as the eclectic hair color chameleon Clementine. Romantic story that deals with erasing people's memories. The direction of the film was very unique, using various focal points and images as if you were really in the mind of Joel Barish. Soundtrack, cinematography and acting was superb. Screenplay was likewise enjoyable. A few lines from the movie: Joel Barish - "Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating. I could die right now, I'm just … happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be." Clementine Kruczynski - "I'm not perfect." Its very surprising to see Carrey perform well in dramatic scenes. As a veteran comedian, the comedic scenes are laughable. Winslet owned the part, very expressive and different... |
