Roger Ebert

The insight of 'Eternal Sunshine' is that, at the end of the day, our memories are all we really have, and when they're gone, we're gone.

Rotten Tomatoes

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.

IMDb

Love is a complicated subject that can't be taught, it can only be experienced for what it is...utterly confusing and yet at the same time completely fulfilling.
