Inspired Script, Characters and Cast, Sensational Film,

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2013)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a phenomenal movie with a fantastic cast and inspired story line, some great emotional drama, and a bit of comedy in there too. It's definitely one of Jim Carrey's most human performances, where we really get to see him as a serious actor, instead of loud and crazy, though I do love his characters such as Llyod Christmas, Ace Ventura and Truman Burbank.
It's a masterfully written script that you really have to keep focused on in order to understand, scenes are shown out of sequence and the overall film would probably make more sense if they were shown in a different order, but it would not have been half as good.
The movie is also heartbreaking, filled with so much aching moments for several characters, Joel and Clementine's relationships is particularly beautiful, but hard to watch at times, immensely tearjerking. Their final dialogue together is absolutely magnificent and some of the best work I have seen from Carrey and Winslet, which says an awful lot.
Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) falls in to a depression on Valentine's day after his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) breaks up with him, so he decides to erase his entire memory of her entirely, but it comes with complications.
