A Work Of Art

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2004)

This moving was a work of art. Get past all the confusion and it's just simply beautiful to watch. There is however a lot of confusion. If you're not giving this film 100% of your attention, you're probably not going to like it. Miss something that might have seemed unimportant and someone is going to have to explain things to you as you're walking out of the theatre. And nobody wants to be one of those people, so make sure you're paying attention. The details are what count for the story, and also for what makes this film so well done. The whole movie just comes together perfectly, from the lighting to the score it's just so well done you can't help but notice while you're watching. The movie sort of floats by in front of you, and I found myself lost in waves of images. I honestly felt all disoriented and dreamy for a good few hours after watching it. It more than achieved it's goal. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were at their finest. Not to mention Kate's ever changing hair colors which only made her more attractive. Wow. I went into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with very high expectations, and there were all met.
