It's hard to grab hold of this piece, difficult to grasp on what it is exactly the director and the writer are trying to say, and while plenty of individual moments border on sensational on the whole this one left me scratching my head.

Each deprivation is preceded by a flurry of emotion that leads to the film's most vivid sequences.

An intriguing apocalyptic romance with a multi-purpose title.

The problem with Perfect Sense is its inability to be effective as either a character-based love story or something larger and more bold.

Moves at a snail's pace and once you creep over the finish line, you're left with a pit in your stomach, something that doesn't inspire reflection, rather just brings you down.

Audience Reviews for Perfect Sense

Oct 06, 2020Apocalyptic arthouse sci-fi about a love story framed in a pandemic. An allegory for our times beautifully filmed in Glasgow.Ross C Super Reviewer

Dec 06, 2015A rare cinematic trip to Edinburgh is rewarded in this sci-fi tale of the end times that refeshingly offers a different spin on the proceedings: we lose our senses quite literally, and each, one at a time. Tying this all together is a love story of two wary and cynical career professionals who grudgingly take the plunge initially, but later discover their inherent need to unite. Mainly good stuff.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Oct 06, 2015The Perfect Sense feels like it should have been a good movie but winds up not more than mediocre. The lead actress is a terrible fit for the role, her acting felt fake in a few key scenes and in others she seemed more a spoiled princess than an epidemiologist working hard on a cure to save the world. Besides that, the film was alright. The premise was interesting, the shooting was fine, and Ewan MacGregor's performance was believable. I must say, though, if you are going to make a movie about the end of the world and you want it to work, the audience has to have a good amount of sympathy for the characters.Robert B Super Reviewer
Perfect Sense Quotes
| Michael: | Fat and flour! |
| Michael: | I need you to come back to me. |
| Michael: | Life goes on. |
| Susan: | Then there's the other movement... farmers going out to milk their cows... soldiers reporting for duty. Those who believe that life will go on somehow... or just don't know what else to do. People prepare for the worst... but hope for the best. They concentrate on the things that are important to them. All the things beyond fat and flour. |
