If ever there was a perfect movie...

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2005)

A movie of this magnitude and quality only comes out once in a great while!
Very rarely am I affected after viewing a movie, but after seeing this film my view of the world slightly changed. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", in my opinion, is a masterpiece.
This film takes your mind on a journey, to places you never even THOUGHT about thinking about. Jim Carey and Kate Winslett are superb, as are the writing and plot.
Do not see this film expecting many dazzling CGI effects. This film intrigues and astounds on sheer acting and plot alone. This intelligent, science-fiction movie will require your full attention the whole length of the film, or you are liable to become lost. Before basing your opinion on this movie, I would recommend seeing it twice, as you may not fully comprehend the plot the first time around. And speaking of the plot, it is unique and not at all predictable.
Please forgive the lack of structure to this review, but I am consciously trying to convey my opinion of this wonderful work of art without revealing ANY of the plot so that your experience will be as affecting as possible, as it was for me.
