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...

I can honestly say that “I got it” during my second viewing and my appreciation for what the movie does is unquestioned.

At times it seems as if Roman Polanski adapted a rom com written by Philip K. Dick... [Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind] is the most tenebrous romantic comedy ever filmed. [Full review in Spanish]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is weird and chaotic and not linear, which wonderfully mirrors what memories are like.

There is another couplet in Eloisa to Abelard that perhaps has a bearing on the Gondry-Kaufman film: "Of all affliction taught a lover yet,/'Tis sure the hardest science to forget."

Touching, tragic, inspiring, funny, hopeful, and, most importantly, powerfully romantic.

A spectacular film that dwelves into a primitive feeling more authentically than any other film. A modern classic. [Full review in Spanish].

[Jim Carrey's] vulnerability is stunning, and he has channeled his comedic physicality into a tightly controlled performance that makes the absurd completely believable.

Without a doubt, one of the best films of all-time regarding love, heartbreak and hope. [Full review in Spanish]
Feb 13, 2020
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a whirlwind of emotions, and it is the kind of romance that is just grounded enough, in reality, to inspire and incite, but whimsical enough to deserve its own special place in the genre's history.

With a tagline of 'Would you erase me?', I can only beg someone to erase Eternal Sunshine from theaters -- quickly.

From the opening frame to the closing credits, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is unmistakably the work of a true creative genius.

It's a surprising, clever sci-fi twist, even as the relationship drama it dredges up doesn't feel at all like science fiction.
Jan 9, 2018
For all its high-falutin' references this is just another rom com with a bit of angst and ontological confusion thrown into the mix.

...genius, or at least fascinating. [Full review in Spanish]

The wacky sight gags and psycho-drama slapstick is tinged with melancholy and regret ...
