Superior to Slacker and a perfect stoner philosophy film. Each conversation is just the tip of a strand of a massive idea, and its constant fleeting nature allows for a a relaxing, provoking watch.

As much as I generally like Linklater's writing and way of looking at things, I just have trouble connecting with animation with pretenses to visual realism.... I don't want to be lectured by a cartoon. This gets called a "spiritual successor to 'Slacker'", or some such thing. but I found the monologues not nearly as lively or charming as in "Slacker". Some good moments, but too much of the time it's just an annoying cartoon.

Out of the gate: this is undeniably pretentious. It's easily one of those love it or hate it movies. The rotoscoping is pretty cool, with different styles of animation used in different dream sequences. It's nearly two hours of meditations on life, conversations and rants about philosophy, literature, and religion with a heavy emphasis on what dreams can mean. I find it to be a relaxing watch with enough thoughtful ideas to keep me interested, though I'm not oblivious to the wank either.

Eh...Linklater is hit or miss for me. Boyhood, Dazed and Confused, and the Before series are emotionally impactful and beautiful, but films like Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly feel largely uneven and experimental. That's not to say Waking Life doesn't have thought-provoking scenes - it does. But it feels more like an abstract art project a lot of the time than a cohesive film and I probably wouldn't watch it more than once. Happy to have seen it, didn't stick with me.
