how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 112 comments (74 from Reddit, 32 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) β 22 of them described how it moves.
β steady β Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout β never simply one thing. Marked above the line: 2 that landed as a blow, 2 that gave people chills.

βFor me the one point when Joel and Clem are able to transdimensionally communicate to meet in Montauk it kind of pushes the film into GOAT territory. It is so perfectly timed and allows the hope of what love can be to still exist is perfect.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βNot only (Kaufman's) most accessible and romantic screenplay, it's his most complete. The third act works like a charm and pulls all his themes, characters and conflicts together beautifully.β
Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter Β· 100
βA wildly imaginative, hugely entertaining tour de force that asks big questions about life and love and fate while never ceasing to fully engage the viewer.β

βWatching Eternal Sunshine, you don't just watch a love story -- you fall in love with what love really is.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 100
βA thoughtful, audacious meditation on love and relationships that finds a group of wildly disparate talents clicking together in perfect unison.β
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald Β· 100
βIt's a trippy but tender examination of human emotions, relationships, all-consuming love.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βwithin the first 15-mins seems miscast in this role which should've been played by someone much younger, early to mid 20s given her capricious, immature nature. It's weird how she just steamrolls herself into "Joel's" (Jim Carrey, also too old) life and he's not at all suspicious, she's got no friends, no other life it seems besides attaching herself to him, out of a seeming desperation.β

β_Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_, that darling of indie cinema and perennial staple of dorm-room philosophizing, is an object lesson in the dangers of confusing gimmickry with profundity; the cinematic equivalent of a hipster mustache β all style, no substance. Its premise β a pair of lovers, post-breakup, undergo a medical procedure to erase all memory of one another β might, in capable hands, have led to a trenchant commentary on memory, loss, and the human condition.
