Screenwriters rarely develop a distinctive voice that can be recognized from movie to movie, but the ornate imagination of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) has made him a unique and much-needed cinematic presence. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a guy decides to have the memories of his ex-girlfriend erased after she's had him erased from her own memory--but midway through the procedure, he changes his mind and struggles to hang on to their experiences together. In other hands, the premise of memory-erasing would become a trashy science-fiction thriller; Kaufman, along with director Michel Gondry, spins this idea into a funny, sad, structurally complex, and simply enthralling love story that juggles morality, identity, and heartbreak with confident skill. The entire cast--Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, and more--give superb performances, carefully pitched so that cleverness never trumps feeling. A great movie. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - For me, a drama - an intense one
I rented this movie with my husband, one of our first 'dates' after our seperation. Since it was marketed as a comedy, i figured it would be good to have some light entertainment since we'd been working through so much heavy stuff.
Ok, no, not light. Not light at all, esp considering where we were. Some of the lines at the end had me bawling my eyes out! She reminds him of all the things which will go wrong in the relationship, and he says, Ok. That message that, for all the hard, ... Read More
Rating:  - What's the big deal?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a critics darling and hit movie on DVD but I couldn't stand this film and I really tried to understand why this film is so special. Kate Winslet's Oscar nominated performance is reason alone to watch this over-analytical comedy. Winslet is a fearless and unique actress, Jim Carrey and Mark Ruffalo are also good, I just wish Kristen Dunst wasn't in this, she's a one-trick pony! Eternal Sunshine... left me clouded and confused, pass this one up!
Rating: - A remarkable piece of cinema
I truly enjoyed this movie. Although I will warn you that if you want traditional romance, comedy, and drama, then this film is not for you. After all it is made by Focus Features, and was written by Charlie Kauffman.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a quirky comedy/drama. Jim Carrey is amazing as the understated, and at times, dull Joel. Kate Winslet is perfection as the outspoken, trying-so-hard-to-impress-you freak girl Clementine. They meet and have a wonderful relationship, ... Read More
Rating: - Do not read this review if you haven't seen the movie (Spoiler Alert)
Consider yourself warned...
I saw this movie based on a recommendation from a friend that it was really good. "Really good" does not do this movie justice. This movie blew me away. I think it's the greatest love story I have ever experienced on film, which I know is a bold claim. The reason I say that is because this movie is a celebration of love itself, and not the person whom those feelings are attached to. Joel does not want to give up the memories and feelings associated with love because ... Read More
Rating:  - Worthy of Multiple Viewing
For English Lit majors and/or trivia wonks, the title of this film is taken from a line in Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard." Just as Eloisa prays to forget her tragic lover in Pope's poem, Clementine (Kate Winslet) and Joel (Jim Carrey) ask to have their memories of each other surgically removed from their minds in Mike Gondry's film. However, during the neurological procedure to rid Joel of memories of his failed love, Joel begins to have second thoughts about letting go. He begins to fight, albeit unsuccesfully, ... Read More
