Cyg's Mini Review: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Melissa and I watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind on Friday evening and it was a lot more detailed and quirky than I expected. Kate Winslet plays way against type, and Jim Carrey puts in a strong performance. All the supporting actors are great (especially Mark Ruffalo) and the story is a chronological mess, but in a good way. This movie made me think about the power of the memory of love and seemed to reward me for paying attention. It's definitely worth at least a rent; it's probably good for two inital viewings, the second with the commentary on. I'll be doing that when I get a chance.

Comments
Charlie Kaufman is probably the best screenwriter in history; as great as this one was, though, "Being John Malkovich" was even better.
