Brilliant and insightful

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2004)

It's good to know there are still movies made that have the screenplay as the most important element. The writers of Eternal Sunshine bring us a story that shows real insight into affairs of the heart. How we move from being passionate lovers to not being able to stand the sight of each other, and why we never seem to learn and do it over and over again; a sort of Groundhog Day of relationships. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are perfect as the ultimately doomed lovers. The story unfolds in a creative and entertaining way that makes us see that the old cliche is true: it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. 10 out of 10.
