The story of a nondescript Everyman named Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) who falls in and out of love with a willful free spirit named Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) and then undergoes a futuristic procedure to forget her, the movie would seem to be about two people who connect, break up and try to find their way back to one another. But it’s also about every synaptic fuse and hiccup that make romance (and self-deception and hope and heartbreak) possible.-Washington Post

“Works marvel after marvel in expressing the bewildering beauty and existential horror of being trapped inside one’s own addled mind, and in allegorising the self-preserving amnesia of a broken but hopeful heart.”-Time Out
