Universal acclaim based on 965 Reviews

100

One of those rare collaborations that artists dream of, and that film lovers crave.

Joe Morgenstern

Wall Street Journal

100

Not 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.

Kirk Honeycutt

The Hollywood Reporter

100

A complicated story that demands your full attention; Mr. Gondry unfolds it at a mind-bending pace. This alone makes it a hugely refreshing respite from ordinary multiplex fare.
