There are some films that you just need to be in the right frame of my mind to appreciate, and I think Michael Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of them. It's a quirky and explorative film which deals with deliberate mind wiping, a chosen and specific imposed amnesia. It does so through its characters and revolves ...  Read the complete review

I heard critics and people saying that this film is really good and such a comic laugh, so I picked it up one day to see if it is actually a real comedy treat. I thought at first that the two lead actors, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were friends! And not forgetting that Kate Winslet gives another Oscar nominated ...  Read the complete review

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released in 2004 by director Michel Gondry. It is a difficult film to classify although I would simply describe it as a drama. Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) Rises from bed one morning. He goes outside to go to work to see that his car has been dented & seems slightly discontented. ...  Read the complete review

Directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufmann, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind always had a recipe for success. Having previously worked together on Human Nature, Kaufmann had also written the brilliant Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Eternal Sunshine certainly had some ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit this movie has to be one of the most intriguing and confusing I have seen in many years but that fact alone keeps you watching as you try to understand and piece together the jigsaw that this is. In addition even though this is in the comedy genre it is in my opinion a very dark comedy and certainly away from the ...  Read the complete review

This comedy-drama was first released in 2004 and explores the elements of science fiction, memory and of course true love.

It earned about 70 million in the box office world wide and even an academy award ...  Read the complete review

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is impossible to categorize or compare with aother film, or any film I've ever seen anyhow. I watched it on recommendation after being asked the question 'what is your favourite film of all time?'. The plot is quite simple, a man decides to erase an ex girlfriend from his mind after ...  Read the complete review

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was written by Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote Being John Malkovich - which I loved. This was the reason that I put this film into my "Lovefilm" list. If you enjoyed the latter, then you'll probably also enjoy this film as it has some similar thought provoking ...  Read the complete review

I'm always pleased to see Jim Carrey pulling away from comedy and starring in a movie that gets rated highly; currently number 61 in IMDB's Top 250 movies. He's a very talented actor and if critics still think he was a one role man then they clearly haven't watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Carrey plays Joel ...  Read the complete review

The great thing about Eternal Sunshine... is that it features Jim Carrey, Kate Winsley and Elijah Wood. Three of my favourite actors and actresses. Therefore it was a dead set that I was going to watch it. This I think was the first film of Jim Carreys' that I'd watched where he wasn't really playing a comedy role so at first I was a ...  Read the complete review

On my third attempt I finally managed to watch this film to the end last night. I then went to sleep thinking about it and woke up this morning thinking about it.It really is thought provoking. What if we could really erase certain chapters/people/events from memory? Would this be a good thing or a bad thing? How would it affect the ...  Read the complete review

I came to know about the movie by reading an article about Kate Winslet. I was surprised when I saw the movie! Its so weird how we can relate to some really strange ideas we see in movies. I mean, what if we could actually delete someone from our lives just like that. Imagine you are madly and sadly in love with someone today and the ...  Read the complete review

This is one of those films that you never really understand fully, but you're always amazed each time you watch. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play the two very watchable protagonists of this surreal rollercoaster of a love story. Joel Barris (Carrey) is a reserved, quiet man who recently discovers the love of his life ...  Read the complete review

Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) is going through a rough patch in his life, he's in a dead end job and is having relationship problems with his girlfriend, that is until he spontaneously jumps on a different train instead of going to work. Here he meets Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet), an eccentric woman who defines everything 'hippie' in ...  Read the complete review

I've just watched this film for the third time and just had to take a moment to say how much I love it! Kate Winslet is (as usual) amazing, as Clemantine, a crazy, loveable, mixed-up girl who changes her mind as often as her hair colour. She falls for the rather more conventional Joel, played (rather wonderfully - and this ...  Read the complete review

The main stars of this movie are Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. It is quite a serious type of comedy and it is good to see Jim Carrey trying other stuff then the laugh out loud comedy that we have grown used to seeing him in. This is a strange amazing film that once finished will really make you think. Things like how much thoughts affect ...  Read the complete review

This is without doubt one of the quirkiest and most niche films I have ever had the pleasure of watching. So, lets begin with a don't watch if you're not a fan of the slightly strange and twisted! It's essentially a romance story, although a very unconventional one at that; starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. The premise ...  Read the complete review

Some films follow an obvious pattern. Romantic Comedies, especially, seem to follow the pattern laid out in The Big Book of RomCom Plotlines. You know the score: Girl meets boy, girl and boy initially dislike each other and/or have some kind of misunderstanding etc etc. This isn’t one of those sorts of ...  Read the complete review

You shouldn't submit to your own prejudices. I'd ordered this from the online DVD store simply because I was determined to watch something different and this had featured pretty consistenly as one of those 'must watch' films. I resisted chucking it back in the mail when I took the disc out of the envelope and read the words ...  Read the complete review
