Reviews for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Butler's skilful dissection of Eternal Sunshine confirms the suspicion that it is a film that demands further explanation and contextualisation if it is to be fully appreciated...This is not so much a companion to the nominally SF Charlie Kaufman/Michael Gondry film as a blueprint for unravelling a visual brainteaser.
