Best Thing Since Big Fish

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2004)

I came in with high expectations of this movie simply from the trailer's Mr. Blue Sky. I was pleasantly surprised that the movie actually passed my expectations.
Carrey has his best performance in a drama since Truman Show and his chemistry with Winslett is actually quite good. The two are complete opposites in character but make the relationship believeable and emotional.

The camerawork says it all for this movie, constantly going out of focus and whipping from one spot to the next accurately show how a persons mind or train of thought actually functions. The entire working of effect and graphics between memories and erasure of memories is done well.
The story is able to make you feel which says something about a movie. I left the movie with a similar feeling as to how I felt leaving Big Fish. Overall it's an outstanding movie and I hope the actors, even David Cross, get the credit and recognition they deserve. I walked away with a great movie and an Eternal Sunshine orange hoodie that Winslett wears throughout the movie. 3 cheers for advance screenings!
9/10
