In just a few days, an Oscar-winning drama featuring the talented Jim Carrey will be leaving Netflix. Despite its almost perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will be saying goodbye to the streaming platform. This masterpiece, directed by Michel Gondry, was released in 2004 and quickly became a fan favorite. Both critics and viewers couldn't stop praising it.
Jim Carrey played the lead role of Joel Barish, alongside a star-studded cast including Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, and Tom Wilkinson. The film follows Joel as he discovers that his ex-girlfriend, Clementine Kruczynski, has undergone a procedure to erase all memories of their relationship. In a desperate attempt to forget her as well, Joel decides to undergo the same procedure.
The film received immense praise upon its release, winning the Oscar for best original screenplay. Kate Winslet's performance also earned her a nomination for best actress, as well as nods from the Baftas and Golden Globes. However, for those who haven't seen it yet, time is running out. Eternal Sunshine is leaving Netflix in the US on December 31, so if you want to experience this emotional rollercoaster, act fast.
But don't worry, the film will still be available on the UK version of Netflix and can also be streamed on Peacock in America. It currently has an impressive Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 92%, slightly lower than the critics' ranking of 94%. Fans have described it as "achingly tender" and "funny", with one person calling it "one of the most beautiful films of all time."
One of the main reasons for the film's success is the incredible performances by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. They perfectly portray a former couple desperately trying to forget each other. Along with the rest of the talented cast, including Kirsten Dunst and Mark Ruffalo, they bring this story to life.
Fans are still discovering and falling in love with Eternal Sunshine, even 20 years after its release. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kate Winslet shared that younger generations are approaching her about the film and connecting with it in a different way. She also noticed that this new generation is more open and vocal about their experiences and what they want from life.
It's fascinating to see how each new audience finds something different in the film. Some say, "That was me. I was Clementine," while others relate to different characters and situations. This just shows the impact that Eternal Sunshine has had and continues to have on viewers.
If you haven't seen it yet, now is the time to stream Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Netflix. And if you have, it's always worth a rewatch. As one fan put it, "This is so moving and meaningful yet funny that it is masterful." So don't miss out on this powerful and unforgettable film.
