Leave your thoughts about Perfect Sense.
| Slant MagazineGlenn Heath Jr.Visually glassy and smooth, Perfect Sense values the dynamic mood of each scene without being overly stylized. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanEngrossing before packing a staggering emotional wallop as its full implications are revealed. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA deeply spiritual love story that challenges us to be fully alive to the report of our senses and to live in the present moment which will never appear again. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyA moving look at what it means to be human in the most extreme circumstances, this is kitchen-sink sci-fi with an aching soul. |
| CineVueJohn NugentManages what all great sci-fis achieve: making an imaginative idea worm its way into your head, until you start seeing the world in a strange new light. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonThrillingly ambitious, ecstatically romantic, utterly unexpected. |
| Financial TimesAntonia QuirkeThis is a frightening and tender sci-fi, shot very flat and unhysterical, full of eccentric detail (the need to make more entertaining food after everyone loses their sense of taste) and always an air of regret spilling out at the edges. |
| TrespassGlenn DunksThis film from David Mackenzie is such a curiously inert experience that never satisfies as a romance, a sci-fi drama or as a social parable. |
| HeyUGuysJamie NeishA beautifully intricate and personal piece of cinema, bolstered by phenomenal direction, terrific performances and truly affecting, surprisingly original screenplay. |
| The A.V. ClubAlison WillmoreThe perseverance of McGregor's restaurant, in spite of its apparent inutility in the changing world, ends up having more poignancy than his parting and reuniting with the glowering Green. |
