"...the beautiful illusion of looking like shit."

Anthony Lane's review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the new issue of the New Yorker is pretty good although I sometimes still get lost in the critical jibber-jabber. I hate it when I can't tell what someone means & I have to reread it several time & even then...

UPDATE: Speaking of over-my-head, critical doublespeak, Jonathan Rosenbaum also writes about the movie in this week's Chicago Reader. His review is a bit more positive & also gives some welcome cine-historical perspective. (sorry about that made-up term, I wasn't sure how to word it & it just happened)
