Amazing...

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2004)

I saw this movie twice, and I have to say that it was excellent. Unlike a few other titles that have used the 'time-hopping' idea, Eternal Sunshine was clear, but not obvious. The flick's plot was amazingly intricate yet understandable. I think that too many people went into the theater thinking that Jim Carrey was going to put forth a Bruce Almighty type of performance and left disappointed. Obviously this movie is not of Carrey's normal roles, however he delivered a solid performance. I was also quite suprised with Kate Winslet's performance. After her last blockbuster, Titanic, I was happy to see that Kate Winslet can really act. I would definitely recommend this movie to anybody who enjoys movies that they have to pay attention to, or anybody's who's been getting sick of the brainless garbage that has been released in theaters as of late. Eternal sunshine almost had a Requiem/Memento/Donnie Darko feel to it, without being exceedingly pretentious, drawn out, or boring.
