Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013

Jim Carrey stars as a man who has recently learned that his ex-girlfriend (Kate Winslet) has gone to a place where it is possible to erase one's memory of a certain person and has erased her memories of their relationship.

When he decides to get the same procedure done to himself as well, he begins to regret his decision after all the happy memories he relives in his mind in Michel Gondry's challenging, compelling romantic sci-fi feature, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

A little more background on why the central relationship was deteriorating and a little less manic editing would have been nice. Otherwise, this is a fascinating blend of science fiction and romance which convinces us that no matter what we do and how hard we try, we cannot escape love.
