One of my All-Time Favorites

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2015)

I rarely give out perfect scores on IMDb, out of the 200 or so movies that I've seen and rated, this one is the third that I have given a 10/10. Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind mixes romance with a Being-John-Malkovitch-esque quirky sort of feel. It's original plot provides an unpredictable storyline that ties back into itself, intertwining on an unprecedented level. Before seeing this movie, I would have laughed at the notion of Jim Carrey playing anything less than a slapstick comedy role, and it genuinely surprised me how perfect for this movie he was. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind still provokes thought within me even years after watching it. The depth involved in this movie makes it able to fit all the detail of that of a book, while still being only an hour or two long. Overall, I cannot rate this movie highly enough, and I strongly recommend it to anyone with a thirst for a psychologically captivating film.
