Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was an interesting film and has an even better title. I wasn't quite sure if I was 'getting' the timelines at the beginning and felt a bit disorientated but ended up being right. Nice film, one of the better romance films I've seen but I suspect I might enjoy it more in a few years, once I'm older. Best Jim Carrey performance I've seen though.

This is another tough one for me to rate. I loved the beginning and the end. I had trouble with the cacophony of the middle. But, even so, I recognise the brilliance of the writing, the talent of the cast, and the complexity of the story. Brilliant SciFi/Romance premise, difficult to execute. It was nominated for 2 Oscars: one for Kate Winslet, and the one for that for which it won - Best Writing, Original Screenplay (2005). What puzzled me for most of the movie, was how it managed to attract so talented a cast, but, by the end of the movie, I understood the unexpected depths there were to be mined. I have to confess that as a Canadian I have always been embarrassed by my dislike, of what the world credits as comedic genius, of Jim Carey movies (he is a Canadian export). What stunned me about this movie, from the beginning, was how good a dramatic actor Jim is (who knew? I even found him handsome, once again, who knew?). And Kate Winslet as an erratic grunge, that was a hard sell. I didn't like the character Clementine throughout the movie, which made it hard to keep watching, especially when, at the centre of it, this is a love story. But, then, at the end of the film, her character resolves, bringing unexpected depths (thus the Oscar nomination). This movie was throwing inconsistencies at me from the beginning, and I was intrigued, irritated, bored, and finally, moved. So, I'm sitting here, looking at the rating, as it taunts me to make a proclamation. So, I give it a 7.5 (brilliant in spasms) out of 10. I'll not watch it again, but, it does have something about it that is worthy of an attempt - it may be exactly what you were looking for.

i have a 'must-watch' list, and this movie was on it. This genre is not my first one, but the screenplay and the visuals are so great. i think it was very hard to make this movie. To watch it was quite entertaining. Great cast, good director, "you did not see that coming"-ending -> 8/10

If you understand the concept of this movie, you can agree that it is one of the best love stories ever portrayed in film!
