Perfect Sense

Oh putain ! J'ai été hypnotisé par le sex-appeal d'Ewan McGregor de prime abord, faut qu'elle arrête de sourire et de montrer son cul, c'est de la torture ! Sinon l'histoire est tragique et est racontée comme un documentaire de fin du monde, c'est glauque et ça fait peur. J'ai beaucoup aimé ce cauchemar mais j'ai adoré en sortir aussi.

Despite its predictability David Mackenzie's film is truly affecting, thanks in no small part to the excellent score, and montage/voiceover sequences which offer a chance to step away from the protagonists and imagine the effects of a terrible affliction on humanity, and indeed yourself. The leads' performances are decent as is the overall staging of the mini-apocalypse, allowing Mackenzie to slice straight into the emotional core without the needs for subplots or banal details. A fine film.

Interesting idea, and a refreshingly different take on the disaster film. The major weakness is the main characters, who are not likeable and have no chemistry together.

Pretty emotionally dense for 90 minutes. Still, Perfect Sense runs the gambit of emotions and does so in pretty unique (and sometimes funny) ways. Green outshines McGregor, but the acting is strong all around. A beautiful film in spite of its brevity.

Fat and fucking flour!

Original and quite enjoyable.

Pretty good "end of the world" film. The reactions to the "infections" are unexpected and entertaining.

Oh, the third act is just mesmerizing. Ewan McGregor, in his minimalist performance, owns the screen. Makes you speechless.

Like every obnoxious filth that hasn't the slightest idea of how to treat its rather neat concept, deceives its audience into thinking it's internalizing something profound through a series of hokey tantrums, ponderous soliloquies and stilted dialogues. I must've lost complete interest around the time Eva Green and some lady started devouring their own toothpaste and lipstick, respectively; At least I think that was toothpaste... I'm so confused right now..

Bunch of interesting ideas evolve into a cliche ridden narrative. I would probably be softer on the film if I watched it before 2020 but my only reaction now is "yeah what else???"

The sci-fi idea was intrigue, but I did not find much of chemistry between leads and I'm not a big fan of Ewan McGregor. Eve Green was as shiny as always. The director then again did not handle all the situations as he should. But yes. We are prisoners of our senses. You better enjoy what you've got.

Symbolism and allegory make this the thinking man's disaster film.

Superior romantic (mystery virus) drama. I loved Eva Green in this.

Maybe a little too obvious in its romance-as-apocalypse metaphors, but the emotional tone was pretty much spot-on for me, helped of course by Richter's overwhelming score.

#12#, story, reviews, (casting)

Apocalyptic romance that avoids the cheap gore 'n' violence for something far more interesting. Atmospheric like Coupland's Girlfriend in a Coma without the smirkiness.

Entertaining and interesting, but does seem to move around without rhyme or reason sometimes.

Woeful..poetic...tragic.. It all makes Perfect Sense. Highly recommended!

Way too fucking pretentious for its own good. Airless and almost impossible to sit through, only to be offered some platitudes at the end about some twat's idea of the nature of life.

a good movie very similar to Blindness, yet not powerful as that... every possible human behavior is zipped in 1.5 hours

Beautifullly strange.

Good for young or slow people. Younglings; you don't know a thing so this is interesting for you. Slow metabolized people; You didn't read, watched enough, so this movie is still interesting for you. Geeks; Stay away!

Some parts of this sadly extremely topical pandemic drama were very effective.

Beautiful, peotic allegory. Dense emotionally, but too light on actual content.

"Visually glassy and smooth, Perfect Sense values the dynamic mood of each scene without being overly stylized." - Glenn Heath Jr.

Quite good.

Eva Green, Eva Green, Eva Green.

Like BLINDNESS, but weirder: WEIRDNESS.

Interesting & Thought provoking!!!

There seem to be a lot of apocalyptic movies about lately. This one has a different take, and although I don't like McGregor and Eva Green too much, I did enjoy watching this.

1117: great development of "Blindness"

Good idea with an unpretentious style, except stereotype leading characters.

good acting, a bit too much like Blindness though

A really imbalanced film, it portrays darkness really well like The Road. It does not really build story well. Plus 0.5 for score and 0.5 for Green's spectacular boobs. The ending minus 0.5 for me. An intentionally artsy film
