Couldn't Have Been Superb-er

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2004)

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind deserves the praise it is getting. All I heard about this film before I went to see it was that it was a Kaufman script and the leading man was Carrey. What I ended up finding was an engaging script, paradoxically relate-able, anchored by outstanding performances. Carrey shines an otherwise drab character, Mark Ruffalo is funny and superb and I didn't think Kate Winslet could be any more appealing than she is in this film. I loved the plot (what's more, I understood it) and I loved the people, even when you perhaps shouldn't. That elderly couple that passed me in the cinema and said "I didn't like it" should eat some soap. A credit to all involved, they inspired me to begin writing scripts again after a 6 month sebbatical.
PS. I hope 'sebbatical' iss spelt correcttly.
