This is the perfect film for moviegoers who resist perfect to Boredom with capital B, that's why the title Perfect Sense! For everybody else it's very hard to digest, even though it is also about eating. The filmmakers want to make me think it's about love but I can not. If they show me the two protagonists, naked, making love, about half of the film, that does not convince me. The two main actors, Eva Green and Ewan McGregor are not at all convincing, it's just unconvincing acting. The film's comment is banal, even stupid. It's a love story, it's documentary, the filmmakers have not decided yet. The monkey, the rabbit and the horse that appeared at some point in the street played the best. When part two? Seven stars are too many, one is enough!

David Mackenzie's Perfect Sense is one of those films that is indeed almost near perfection, a totally unique viewing experience from frame to frame. It also happens to be one of the most depressing things you'll ever sit through, so fair warning. The story unfolds in Glasgow, where some strange pandemic is causing people, all over the world, to slowly lose there sensory perception, one at a time and preceded by cursory symptoms like rage, hunger, grief or the like. Sounds like a neat setup for a streamlined post apocalyptic thriller right?Not so much. Mackenzie is fascinated more by things like intimacy, pacing, thoughtful musical accents, haunting narration and how these underplayed qualities are influenced by the extreme nature of the theme. It's also a fiercely passionate love story, but one that gets gradually bleaker, as each instrument in our bodies we use to show love for one another slowly dims and darkens, a harrowing thing to witness once we're invested. A research scientist (Eva Green) and a chef (Ewan McGregor) meet, fall in love and are then faced with the dire adversity of the world's situation. First everyone's sense of smell disappears. Then taste. Hearing soon after. And so it goes. Their romance is already a tangled bramble bush thanks to both their collective issues, and once the epidemic enters the picture, things aren't easy to deal with and don't go well. McGregor's sunny disposition contrasts the overcast,dismal palette of the film, whilst Green and her seemingly never depleted stores of intensity are in full forecast, the two making an electric pair onscreen. I love how a story that's so rooted in sci-fi and thriller elsewhere gets the quiet, contemplative romantic focus here, it's a welcome change. This isn't Hollywood territory though, and the epidemic is treated in the gravest way, without salvation via deus ex machina in sight, and I'll warn you that the final scene will land with an anvil blow to your ol' soul, it's that bleak and disheartening. Couldn't recommend it enough though, it's a dose of pure brilliance on every perceivable level.

I wanted to stop watching this movie after ten minutes. 'Ridiculous' I thought to myself. 'Who green lighted this?' I thought to myself. But ten minutes turned into eleven minutes, turned into more, and it was in the 'more' that I was to find myself watching something quite special: a carefully crafted tale of humanity that shows how perfectly imperfect we all are, and how glorious it is to just - be. And the last scene and that last couple of seconds? Nice.

This is a movie about love and science fiction. But the fiction occurred here is unknown. Though men thing what about his-self is not always right. When love comes everything has changed. Human scene may not work well but the sense of love will stays forever once it occurred. No barrier can resist love. Couple can hate each other for few reason but if their love is from their core, then those reason may not resist them. In this movie we can see that love between the actor and the actress . Director is very successful about this charming love presentation. Another thing of this movie is running of life. Life is not stop running for any descent reason. When you have life that life will go on until its end. However some matter can slow it down a bit but can't stop it. So if you have life and love you can go through the darkness.
