Peerless
By Aman1 from Middlesex , 20 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This is an intensely moving film. It is uncommon to see a film that has a peerless script, groundbreaking directing and wonderfully gifted acting all in one film.
This is Kaufman’s best script to date, combining the ambitiousness of Adaptation and the mind mapping scenario of Being John Malkovich. It merges both, and transcends them, and is probably the finest script he will ever write. Structurally it is watertight, and multiple viewings confirm this. It is always easy for a film with multiple flashbacks to lose itself, or become confusing, but Eternal manages to find a balance not seen since Memento.
Gondry’s cinematic directorial debut is simply a pleasure to watch. He allows the actors a degree of freedom, which helps produce the remarkable acting that they provide. His unique camerawork suits the script perfectly, and one can only hope him and Kaufman can work together again.
Kate Winslet is shockingly good in this film, and Carey is not far behind; although once or twice he strays into his pre-Truman Show sort of role. The rest of the cast is equally strong, with Tom Wilkinson playing his role with a remarkably subtle charisma.
All of these ingredients together provide a highly unusual and rewarding viewing experience.- Was this review helpful to you?

(1220)A lesson in true love and loss
By KarenTC (1 review) , 28 Apr 2013What an amazing film. I'm still thinking about it several days later... It teaches us that for all the pain of losing true love, we still have the good memories to cherish. Wonderful!- Was this review helpful to you?

Dialogue Quite Hard To Make Out..
By Richie77777 (249 reviews) from Essex , 21 Apr 2013One of the things I didn't like about, 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,' was the dialogue was often quite hard to make out. Joel, (Carey) mumbles and talks in a very low beat voice. That said, if you've ever been crazily in love with someone only for it to end and you enjoy the memories then this film will resonate with you. As is often the case with movies, it also shows the darker side of the human personality when there's an advantage to be had.- Was this review helpful to you?

forgetable mostly
By wilsonwilson (9 reviews) , 06 Mar 2013tale which seeks to teach us about the course of true love. unusual premise about memory erasure. only truly 50 minutes long as all the film is shown twice. director seems to have realised the audience would tire and has thrown in a handfull of morsels in the form of kate and kirstens smalls-probably worth a watch for these.- Was this review helpful to you?
