Entertaining AND a masterpiece. Wow! What a great combination...

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2004)

Typically, movies dealing with human consciousness (in the woo-woo, metaphysical sense), even when very well done, scare the pants off of most critics. Something about deep emotion, intuition, or anything new and 'personal' in that sense will usually elicit cries of "Witch! Witch!" from most critics. How come this movie was universally beloved? Dunno... Whatever the reason, the critics seem to have got it right, and in this case, I agree with them 100%. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is brave, thoughtful. meaningful, and best of all, exceptionally well done. It is, truly, a masterpiece.
Truly an extra-ordinary movie! Any conceivable description of it would be a disservice. Thus, don't try to imagine what the movie is about, or even whether or not you'll like it. Trust the critics and the vast public ravings on this one--- "Eternal Sunshine..." is GREAT!!!
