Perfect Sense Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A solemn sci-fi parable set in present-day Glasgow, whose deepening sense of foreboding is sustained by the enigmatic, pseudo-biblical reflections of an unseen narrator.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
An intriguing apocalyptic romance with a multi-purpose title.
Observer
Rex Reed
If you crave action, dialogue, explanations, character revelations and clear plot resolutions, Perfect Sense never lives up to its title.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Sadly, even aficionados of the Cinema of Extinction may make "Perfect Sense" an Omega choice.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The problem with Perfect Sense is its inability to be effective as either a character-based love story or something larger and more bold.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
People around the world progressively lose their senses of smell, taste, hearing and, finally, sight. Too bad the filmmakers never seem to have had a sense of humor in the first place.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
Each deprivation is preceded by a flurry of emotion that leads to the film's most vivid sequences.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
The film loses its charm with annoying sequences that have a narrator explain to us "The Meaning of it All" and then tell us "What Really Matters" in life: Love. Love. Love.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Moves at a snail's pace and once you creep over the finish line, you're left with a pit in your stomach, something that doesn't inspire reflection, rather just brings you down.
Slant Magazine
Glenn Heath Jr.
Visually glassy and smooth, Perfect Sense values the dynamic mood of each scene without being overly stylized.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's hard to grab hold of this piece, difficult to grasp on what it is exactly the director and the writer are trying to say, and while plenty of individual moments border on sensational on the whole this one left me scratching my head.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
It's difficult to impart feelings of profound sadness with an image of Ewan McGregor shoving a stick of butter in his mouth.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
In staying together as their world evaporates into darkness and silence, they are displaying what anyone in love would recognize as quiet heroism - and perfect sense.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Satisfyingly ambiguous and starkly tactile in its inquiry into where sensation ends and identity begins, David Mackenzie's rampaging-virus movie doesn't dodge genre potholes so much as it stays off that road entirely.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
You've got to make room in your heart for a film in which the world ends with neither a bang nor a whimper but a cuddle.
HitFix
Dan Fienberg
Despite a thuddingly bad title - What, "Senseless" and "Insensitive" were too on-the-nose? - "Perfect Sense" makes an honest and often worthy attempt to do right by its story.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A 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.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
There is a low key element to this narrative much like what CHILDREN OF MEN offered, however this is not nearly as successful as Alfonso Cuarn's brilliant feature.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The most depressing film in recent memory might be this low-budget apocalyptic Irish romance.
