Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Screenwriters rarely develop a distinctive voice that can be recognized from movie to movie, but the ornate imagination of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) has made him a unique and much-needed cinematic presence. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a guy decides to have the memories of his ex-girlfriend erased after she's had him erased from her own memory--but midway through the procedure, he changes his mind and struggles to hang on to their experiences together. In other hands, the premise of memory-erasing would become a trashy science-fiction thriller; Kaufman, along with director Michel Gondry, spins this idea into a funny, sad, structurally complex, and simply enthralling love story that juggles morality, identity, and heartbreak with confident skill. The entire cast--Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, and more--give superb performances, carefully pitched so that cleverness never trumps feeling. A great movie. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - one of my all time favorites
If you've ever had a relationship....I think you'll enjoy this well produced film. The acting is good, the direction is good and the story is unique and well written.

This is one of the few films that I feel truly captures the feeling of regret and desperation contemplating what could have been. The chemistry between Winslet and Carrey is not particularly organic, but then again their rocky relationship is what's driving ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic Visuals Illustrate Journey Through Life, Love and Loss.
What if you could forget a person so completely that you would never know that you had met them, spent time with them, even loved them?
The ability to do exactly that is what lies at the heart of this drama, which takes us on a journey through Joel's (Carrey) mind as his memories are selectively erased. Kaufman's great visuals give physical form to Joel's memories and their systematic destruction: Houses disintegrate, faces become blurred and entire streets crumble as, neuron by neuron, ...

Rating: - Love is not forgotten
Passionate...Any hopeless romantic will fall in love with this movie and awaken the senses that love does exist when you find the perfect but completely wrong person for you.
Rating: - Just awesome.
This is a great collector's edition of a great movie. I bought it as a gift for my husband, and he absolutely loved it. Very nice shiny packaging also.
