Critics Consensus Propelled by Charlie Kaufman's smart, imaginative script and Michel Gondry's equally daring directorial touch, Eternal Sunshine is a twisty yet heartfelt look at relationships and heartache.

Go to Full Review Read all reviews Daniel B Feb 21 The cast is exhilarating to see all these years later. Winslet and Carrey are beautifully flawed together throughout the film. Really loved the rewatch. The score seemed used as if it were a horror thriller at times. Fun energy with the leads unrelenting optimism towards each other. With those brutal moments of truth against one another when needed. Still a great film. See more Adam D Feb 21 Joel is my spirit animal. Jim Carrey does a fantastic job playing a serious role. Kate Winslet is really good as Clementine. Elijah Wood does a good job being a character you will hate. Been meaning to rewatch this since my break up.

See more Eboni 04/29/2022 I’m only eighteen. Don’t watch a whole lotta movies. This one came out when I was one, and I always saw people go on about it when I would look for new movies on Instagram or something like that. It was on Netflix, but I didn’t watch it on there. Peaked my interest, and today it came out for an anniversary or something in theaters. Beautiful film. Many twists I didn’t expect. Dope cinematography. Kate Winslet is beautiful, and her and Jim Carrey were pretty hilarious throughout. It was endearing to see a woman call out a man for his romantic projections, and him to acknowledge doing such and wanting to change. Much love.

Critics Consensus Propelled by Charlie Kaufman's smart, imaginative script and Michel Gondry's equally daring directorial touch, *Eternal Sunshine* is a twisty yet heartfelt look at relationships and heartache. [Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eternal_sunshine_of_the_spotless_mind/reviews) Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 02/12/2025 5/5 \[Winslet & Carrey\] were liberated as Clementine and Joel — both quietly heartbreaking. Go to Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting 03/16/2024 5/5 ...giving us an ending that is more painfully honest and, as a result, more romantic. Go to Full Review Wael Khairy RogerEbert.com 09/28/2022 It is a film that demands the presence of thoughts we put aside when surrounded by people, things we only think about when we're alone, buried in everlasting thoughts. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is the rarest of all films... Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week 02/19/2025 Eternal Sunshine is still a testament to that flickering moment when Carrey surrendered his abilities to great filmmakers, as well as composer Jon Brion’s facility with aching woodwinds. Go to Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film 02/20/2024 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the purest examinations of love, and it never pulls any punches. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Peterson Indie Film Minute 09/01/2023 We’re quick to run to love, away from it, to spur it on, or move on from it. In no other film is this more clear than Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Go to Full Review Read all reviews Daniel B Feb 21 The cast is exhilarating to see all these years later. Winslet and Carrey are beautifully flawed together throughout the film. Really loved the rewatch. The score seemed used as if it were a horror thriller at times. Fun energy with the leads unrelenting optimism towards each other. With those brutal moments of truth against one another when needed. Still a great film. See more Adam D Feb 21 Joel is my spirit animal. Jim Carrey does a fantastic job playing a serious role. Kate Winslet is really good as Clementine. Elijah Wood does a good job being a character you will hate. Been meaning to rewatch this since my break up. Kinda wish I could have my memories of my ex girlfriend erased. Loved getting to see this movie again in theatres. See more C 02/06/2025 An great film. A unique story, and amazing acting. I see why this film is favored by so many. Lue 05/01/2022 one of the greatest films. finally saw it on theaters. Mr. Hollywood 04/30/2022 Great film. From story to pacing to images. This is one of those films that shows how original films make the best movies. From the pacing to the individual shots all contributing to the film as a whole. Four out of four stars. Amazing. See more Eboni 04/29/2022 I’m only eighteen. Don’t watch a whole lotta movies. This one came out when I was one, and I always saw people go on about it when I would look for new movies on Instagram or something like that. It was on Netflix, but I didn’t watch it on there. Peaked my interest, and today it came out for an anniversary or something in theaters. Beautiful film. Many twists I didn’t expect. Dope cinematography. Kate Winslet is beautiful, and her and Jim Carrey were pretty hilarious throughout. It was endearing to see a woman call out a man for his romantic projections, and him to acknowledge doing such and wanting to change. Much love.
