Phillip is contacted by A Guide to co tribute towards a eulogy for his former girlfriend Carol.
Eulogy sees a huge change up in pace and style, initially I wasn't sure, by the end of it, I was blown away. It's heartbreaking, it's poignant, it's clever, it genuinely is what Black Mirror is all about.
If you've had a break up, especially a bad one, this will make you think l, it exposes the bitterness we can feel, the desperation to try and forget painful memories.
Paul Giamatti was phenomenal here, what an outstanding performance, he's terrific from start to finish, we get to know Philip for 45 minutes or so, but I felt like we knew his entire life experience.
Lots of goodies to look out for once again, check the branding on the bottle of Cola for example.
Is it just me, or does this episode have something of a happy ending once again, surely Paul's life is made all the better by the experience.
Captivating.
9/10.

I just cant even. I dont know where to begin with this episode. I dont know where it was going to go, maybe im not very smart or good at predicting things.
But wouw. I want to show this to everyone humanly possible. It was so hauntingly brilliant - and Paul Giamatti is just on another level once more. I really dont want to spoil anything for anyone, please just see it.
I think we all had something along these lines. A relationship that broke off, maybe not in the best of ways. Some regret, lingering hurt.
I know I experienced those things. What did I miss in my own blind self pity? That is the question I will ask myself after watching this. What was my part in the break?

First review I've ever written here, so sorry if it's not as polished as others!
With a simple idea, but just the right amount of drama, the episode explores the passage of time and love, all within that unmistakable Black Mirror atmosphere. And my god, it really worked for me.
Paul Giamatti leads the episode with a performance that's both powerful and sensitive. The lighting is flawless, and the cinematography doesn't disappoint. The script isn't anything revolutionary, and the tech concept isn't overly complex, but the way the story unfolded-combined with the soundtrack-really got to me.
It's not the best Black Mirror episode of all time, but it's definitely the best one I've seen in years.

Eulogy is about a lonely, isolated man who is tasked with confronting his past with a girlfriend who he considered to be his love of his life. With a relatively simple concept, Eulogy explores themes of love and heartbreak beautifully in a meditative look at the past.
Paul Giamatti gives one of his greatest performances ever in Eulogy. Paul Giamatti's excellent performance contributes to make an already incredible episode of Black Mirror to one of the best that television can offer.
The story begins with hate and resentments but builds to bittersweet, meaningful end. The absolute gut-punch of an ending helps cement Eulogy as one the most well written episodes in the history of television.
Truly an exception hour of television.

Overwhelming emotion, and by far the best acting of the series. It doesn't always take some big twist for an episode to truly blossom or stand out, and this is a prime example of that. I would consider this one of the best episodes of Black Mirror to date. Paul Giamatti carries the load of this episode, delivering a polarizing performance of a man in the tail end of his life who remembers one of his greatest mistakes in a slow and painful way. There is no large twist but the revelations we find out at the end left me standing up clapping at the brilliance. I would highly recommend this episode to anybody who enjoys pure story mastery.
