Dreams. What are they? An escape from reality or reality itself? Waking Life follows the dream(s) of one man and his attempt to find and discern the absolute difference between waking life and the dreamworld. While trying to figure out a way to wake up, he runs into many people on his way; some of which offer one sentence asides on life, others delving deeply into existential questions and life's mysteries. We become the main character. It becomes our dream and our questions being asked and answered. Can we control our dreams? What are they telling us about life? About death? About ourselves and where we come from and where we are going? The film does not answer all these for us. Instead, it inspires us to ask the questions and find the answers ourselves.
Leave your thoughts about Waking Life.
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka film for anyone who has ever wondered about life, about what it means to be human, about where the division between dreams and reality really is |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI have seen Waking Life three times now. I want to see it again -- not to master it, or even to remember it better, -- but simply to experience all of these ideas, all of this passion, the very act of trying to figure things out. |
| Film ThreatChris BarsantiIf there is justice in this world, this is the movie that will get people talking again about the excitement of film. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAn amazing thing -- a work of cinematic art in which form and structure pursues the logic-defying (parallel) subjects of dreaming and moviegoing. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthNot fond of abstract observation in its rawest form, I found myself on the verge of discourse-induced slumber. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonEven without the animation, Waking Life remains a living, breathing entity, full of real thought, conversation and ideas. |
| Jam! MoviesDerek TseEven if you can't remember a line after you've seen it, the images remain with you a long time. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikIt's quite safe to say that films like Waking Life come about once in a blue moon. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanThe film celebrates community to a greater extent than any narrative film I can think of. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffWaking Life" tells us not to be afraid to think the big thoughts, not be dulled by our daily tasks. |
