    Not many movies are this clever or well directed. The imagery and sense of flow and editing was great. However, it was so consistently emotional as to be tiring, and the movie seemed to want me to think the ending was happy when I didn't.

    Watching this with my girlfriend was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had with a film. The characters are so relatable and believable; although there are lots of recognizable actors in this movie, their performances were so well done that it made me forget who they were. The memories set-pieces are all incredibly inventive and surreal and the attention to detail in these scenes is just incredible. The movie's concept and message, writing, cinematography, and acting are all top notch and everything works together so well.

      Editing … A solid 6/10. It's like whatever.

      Editing … This movie gets so much unwarranted hate, it's ridiculous.

      Editing … I don't hate it, I'm just confused by people giving it 10. The premise is interesting but it felt unexplored and wasted on a romance plotline and it's weird seeing Jim Carrey without anything funny happening. The only part of the film I'd call outright bad is the title. The rest is fairly okay, I'd say 6/10 as well.

      Editing … It's pretty clunky, kind of reads like a bad high school poetry metaphor.

      Editing … I like the title because it sounds kind of strange which makes it more memorable and it ties into the plot really well.

      Editing … I find Jim Carrey's comedic roles to be insufferable. I like his dramatic roles though.

      Editing … But it's a) a fairly good metaphor and b) from the quote that is very central to the movie. I don't know what's there to actuall dislike.

      Editing … The metaphor is that there is eternal sunshine (happiness) in a spotless mind (a mind with no memories and emotional scars). Are you sure you watched the movie, this is the biggest theme in the whole shitshow.

    As a fan of both Winslet and Carrey, and as a fan of the surreal and anachronous storytelling, I'm kicking myself for not watching this sooner. Eternal Sunshine raises some intriguing, ethical questions while depicting the growth of a flawed but nonetheless beautiful relationship between two unlikely partners. The way Carrey's classic, silly persona emerges in quiet and reserved Joel as he becomes closer to Clementine is wonderful. I also really enjoyed the imagery (e.g. how scenery crumbled or disappeared as his memories were being erased, or the distorted faces when he was in an erased memory, almost like a glitch in a game) and the notion of him jumping through his long-term memory to "hide" from the erasure procedure.
