Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Michel Gondry

★★★★★5.0
would watch again

The only film I know that makes grief feel like a form of love. The structure is one of cinema's great ideas — watching the erasure happen backwards, watching Joel fall back in love with the memory as it disappears. Carrey's quietest, best performance. The ending asks the only question that matters.
