As a screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman is nothing if not consistent. His
It's Got: Excellent performances from Kate Winslet and Kirsten Dunst, and a surprisingly restrained (and therefore tolerable) one from Jim Carrey; visual effects that manage to be both low-key and gobsmacking at the same time; and a funny, twisted, bleak, sentimental screenplay that could only have been written by Charlie Kaufman.
It Needs: Possibly to be seen more than once (fittingly enough for a film about second chances and déjà vu).
Alternatives: The Butterfly Effect, 50 First Dates, Being John Malkovich, Irréversible, 'Memento'
Summary: An inventive headtrip cum melancholic romance which sticks in the mind.

| It was a very weird movie, almost the whole movie was about Joel's memories, but it was not bad! |

| One of the worst movies I have seen in the past three years, confusing flashbacks and characters, a meandering collage of scenes and dialogue. |

| Definitely need to see it more than once to truly understand what's going on. I thought it was confusing, but interesting and creative. |

| Great movie. Never before romantic comedy was so weird, and still true, avoiding cliches. It tackles with the issue of second chance brilliantly. |

| Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a quotation from a poem by Alexander Pope called Eloisa to Abelard. In one scene, Mary reads part of the poem (including that line) out of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" to Dr. Mierzwiak. |
