Consensus: Lovely and diffuse, Sleep isn't as immediately absorbing as Gondry's previous work, but its messy beauty is its own reward.

Reviews for The Science of Sleep
It's not that The Science of Sleep is a terrible film. It's not. It's just that it doesn't operate properly and there's nothing worse than seeing a film in which obvious design and potential is ultimately unfulfilled.

Something like a Luis Bunuel film, but with politics replaced by fashion. It is, essentially, a hipster wet dream.

A wondrously baffling jigsaw puzzle where dreams and reality struggle to find a fit, The Science of Sleep is the dream you wish you could have, if you could only remember it
04/28/07
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.

The Science of Sleep is Gondry's loosest, most confident movie journey into the imaginative mind.

Another comic love story that takes us inside a character’s psyche, but Kaufman’s rock-solid jokes are replaced by whimsy.
02/19/07
Gondry always manages to maintain a childlike wonder in the magic of creating a moving image, and never is it more evident than in this film.
02/16/07
It’s whimsical to the point of maddening. Bernal does his best, but there’s only so much fawning any man can get away with.
02/16/07
Dreams are easy to invent, and as easy to forget. The real challenge is to invent stories that have a stake in logic as well as truth.
02/16/07
A thwarted love story that does not trade in the degraded cliches either of romance or conventional sexiness.
02/16/07
There’s a very thin line between amusingly quirky and just plain pretentious. I’d say this falls somewhere in the middle.
02/16/07
As the movie progresses, we’re presented with one of the best portrayals of the innate awkwardness of first love I can ever remember seeing.
