The Science of Sleep Ratings & Reviews

Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The whimsy Gondry whips up soon goes wispy as we wait in vain for all this sweet-natured silliness to reveal a meaning that isn't transparently obvious.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
In the end, after your time with it, you'll recall it with a smile, remembering its childish wonderment and mischievous sense of humor.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's all very cosmopolitan (the dialogue is English, French and Spanish), very independent, a wee bit juvenile and very confusing, of course. But The Science of Sleep is also remarkably magical and desperately romantic beneath it all.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
This determinedly nonlinear filmmaking tells the story more accurately than cinéma vérité ever could.
RogerEbert.com
Jim Emerson
Although the diminutive (5-foot-6-inch) Bernal emanates an infectiously playful and energetic charisma, there comes a point when you just want to slap him with a big hand for being such a petulant baby.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
I loved Science, but in its final minutes I felt that I had a one-way ticket to a cul-de-sac. The scenery is something, though.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
The film is wonderfully innovative.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
[Gondry's] passion for cinematic invention is giddy and palpable, with the rudimentary charms of fellow Frenchman and turn-of-the-century filmmaker Georges Melies.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Instinctively and ecstatically captures the freeflowing, stream-of-association nature of the cluttered unconscious mind.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
A creative, original work by a filmmaker with a fantastic visual flair who refuses to stick to any typical cinematic patterns, even if it's sometimes to a fault.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A charming, inventive, ambitious, surreal mess.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The movie does have a dreamlike quality. But it's like one of those dreams where you're late for work and you can't find your shoes.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's a tonic to see a film, however uneven, obsessed with the question of what young love is, exactly, while detailing the stupid stuff that makes people act like jerks over someone.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The Science of Sleep is an interesting visual experiment that tries really hard to be something unique, but it just spins its flashy wheels and eventually goes nowhere.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Science may be a little too out there for people used to linear movies. The story doesn't make much sense, but it's not supposed to any more than a dream does.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
An exceedingly fanciful film that's both more provocative and less successful than the Carrey piece.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
All of this sometimes feels just a bit self-indulgent, and more than a bit random -- but then again, isn't that exactly what dreams can be?
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It remains a testament to the triumphant nature of Gondry's imagination that reality in this movie feels less real than the fantasies. You're encouraged to mistake one for the other. In some circles, that's called cinema.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
Ultimately, The Science Of Sleep is about the dividing line between whimsy and simple immaturity.
