Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Most people who've seen it like it, but
Inspired casting against type, making Jim Carrey an introvert and Kate Winslet the wild extrovert. And they both nail it.
The movie is completely bonkers, but logical within the weird rules it establishes.
Behind all the zany effects and weird scenes, it's ultimately grounded by a real, truthful emotional core.
It has a bit of every genre in it. Drama, comedy, romance, sci-fi, even a bit of horror here and there.

Jim Carrey attempts at drama after that movie were never as good, but fuck man, Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are such good performances. That ending scene with him and Winslet is so real that now that I'm an adult and have been through relationships and drama it hits so fucking different.

Agree with your thoughts here except for “against type”
Kate cusses like a foul mouth sailor and is a firecracker in real life
