The most honest movie ever made about relationships

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2012)

Of all the movies that delve into relationship drama, none expose the raw energy and emotion to this level for me. Conceptually intriguing and cinematically inventive, "Eternal Sunshine" is truly an deep adventure into the magnetism and torture of interpersonal relationships. Kate Winslet is absolutely brilliant as the cuckoo girlfriend and Jim Carey' characters vulnerability lets us feel his decision more than explain it. With a soundtrack that is perfectly quirky and timed exquisitely, this is a thinking and feeling film, and draws out compassion for the concept of relationships. The vehicle of specific memory erasing is done through editing genius and cinema magic and is a fascinating study all in itself. It openly acknowledges that we hinder our possible success due to failures of our pasts which the bittersweet ending sheds light on.
