    One of the greatest love stories every told. It was like they read one of my theories of life, wishing to go back in time and never have an event occurred. It was well scripted, well acted and had several twists. Everyone must see this masterpiece.

    ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004)
    directed by Michel Gondry
    starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst

    Quick review

    Clementine: «This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.»

    Joel: «I know.»

    Clementine: «What do we do?»

    Joel: «Enjoy it.»

    From writer Charlie Kauffman comes this sweet and clever romantic comedy that asks one simple and complicated questions: If you could, would you erase someone from your mind ? It seems like thats what the characters in this movie want to do until they are well into de process and cant turn it around. There are some pretty amazing performances, especially from Carrey and Winslet and Michel Gondry has the perfect sensibility for Kauffman's genius script. Its a very complex and thoughtful film about the meaning of love. Could be seen as depressing at times but its never a dull film. Extremely touching.

    Original story that was filmed in an original style. What a concept. Jim Carrey really shines in more dramatic roles like this one, and the supporting cast is great. This is one you'll want to watch a few times to fully appreciate.

    Phenomenal score, excellent script, remarkable direction... I can't say much more in praise of this film that has not already been said by many more eloquent people. What I can say is this will always be one of my favorite films ever made by anyone.

    I found it had an interesting idea, but not enough to make me care about the characters.
    I think the actors are much better in other films.

    Of all Kaufman's scenarios of which excavate in the interior landscapes of its characters, this movie is the complete history formed, a rumination on the possibilities and of the consequences inherent in return the process to remove nondesired memories of your so easy conscience going for a control.

    Not a film that I would of chosen if I saw it sitting on the shelf, but I thought it was great.

    Kate Winslet & Jim Carrey make a surprisingly good on screen couple, I would of never pictured it until I saw this film.

    If you liked Requiem For A Dream then you should like this film as well.

    I saw this in Iraq and it blew my mind. It was the first serious movie I watched that Jim Carey starred in and he was phenomenal.

    Despite what I think of Jim Carrey in dramatic roles, I have only heard good things about this film.

    excellent writing, unconventional directing, shifting points of perspective towards a hallucinatory feel, herky jerky camera work and a first rate cast combine for an honest depiction of both the fragility of our tenderest heart connections and the brutal savagery of our emotionally charged breakups. carrey, for once, is either directorially restrained or shows self-restraint to deliver the jimmy stewart in this that he always wanted to be...and, he's right, he's really brilliant at it. and kate winslet amply proves that helena bonham carter's not the only one who knows her way around emotionally damaged types. but all of these words are simply a flimsily constructed intellectual mask hiding my absolute love for this work, an intricate anti-valentine valentine for lovers. 5 stars.

    I think this the most well written movie I've ever seen. I have never seen Jim Carrey performing like this. Kate Winslet was great too. One extra thing you have to spot in the movie is the music. The music was really great, Jon Brion did a great job.

    This is one of the best movies I've ever seen, Jim Carrey's best work to date. I think some day this movie will be truely reconginzed for its brilliance and Jim Carrey will be recognized for his overlooked acting abilities.
