The Science of Sleep

"Gondry's beguiling new film is so profoundly idiosyncratic, and so confident in its oddity, that any attempt to describe it is bound to be misleading." 

"I think it's a mess, but (...) an endearing, beautiful, hopelessly honest mess that's supported by a pair of performances so unnaturally natural that they draw you in and clutch you, struggling, to their flipping, flopping hearts (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"Although the diminutive (...) 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 (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"To submit to 'Science of Sleep' becomes something strangely akin to acknowledging that our dreams make more sense than our waking life. Imagine that (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"What 'Eternal Sunshine' did with magic and whimsy, 'The Science of Sleep' accomplishes with confusion and pretentiousness (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] plays out like an indie version of Gondry's 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind', albeit with none of the star power, a quarter of the budget, half the angst, and twice the charm." 

"But if the character of Stéphane is disquieting, the movie's exploration of his individual psyche is endlessly fascinating (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
