I've got very little time for Charlie Kaufman. I quite liked Eternal Sunshine, but I generally find his stuff pretentious and get a vibe of smugness. That might be unfair -- I guess I'm just not the target audience.

    I think his films are just very specific in taste. If you fall into his specific target demographoc the movie is amazing. But it can also depend on the day or it depends strongly on things one has heard about it beforehand. When I first watched Eternal Sunshine I was incredibly awake. There were so many things and strange details that didn't make sense that my brain was working hard to make sense of it. Later everything clicked and fell into place in an awesome way. I absolutely loved it.

    But I know so many people who didn't like it one bit.

    His other movies are also that way. My other favourite: Adaptation. I didn't like the Netflix one. Or didn't understand it or didn't care. Don't know.
