I finally watched Eternal Sunshine last night

[Q8offsuit]

So I guess I'm the only one who thought this movie absolutely blew dead bears?

Seriously, I thought it was the worst, most self-indulgently "arty" nonsense I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. And I think I'm being kind.

Will someone please explain to me why this movie is good and not just a flick for the QLC members among us?

Edit: I didn't actually watch the whole movie because it was literally too physically painful. Maybe I am missing some key scenes in the middle/end? I really feel like I am missing something, because this was the shittiest movie I have ever seen, without exaggeration, and everyone I talk to loved it.
