    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    ★★★½

    Wow... Not what I expected. I'm not even sure what it was that I expected... But it definitely wasn't that.
    But I was pleasantly surprised at almost every scene.

    Specifically, there were a couple of transitions that were incredible impressive.
