Jim Carrey's highs and lows

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Verdict: High point

The proof: Possibly Carrey’s finest performance, his work in Michel Gondry’s atmospheric story of love and memory is imbued with realness, hope and pain. With each askance view and shoulder shrug, Carrey fully delves into the character of a man trying to make sense of love, loss, and the world.
