Review of Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I have researched numerous websites, to find critical reviews and box office numbers. 

The well known website full of reviews and information on many films. The website's critics and audiences gave the film a 200 for Fresh and only a 16 for rotten. 93% of people who voted said they liked it. Here are some examples of reviews for the film:

The review gives the film a A-, the reviewer praises the originality of the film and wonders how no one thought of the idea before. The reviewer is interested in the way the characters emotions are expressed in such a thought provoking way.

The review below is not so complimentary, he talks about the weakness of some characters and tells us he does think the film had potential, but wasn't well executed.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind's box office numbers:

As you can see from the above the film was widely distributed and overall was accepted worldwide. The films US box office was £34.1M, this obviously shows the film appealed to a number of different people. The film is said to have surreal elements but it has restricted its content to appeal to the mass market, this is shown in the amount made though the film. 

But our short surreal film will obviously have a less hollywood feel to the film. Also we are not interested in the box office and market appeal to the same extent to the Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Being a low budget surreal film, we can play around with the content and be more brave with our ideas and story.
