BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
issawnedic There was a post in Facebook about real Van Gogh paintings coming alive as a movie. I responded how this movie was similar to the animation. I watched it on cable when I was 10. Back then HBO likes to show movies over and over and over and everytime I see it by chance, I watched it. I was so captivated by it. But, I never got to start it! I never knew the title, nor the beginning of the movie. Thankfully that random stranger on Facebook knew which movie I was talking about. Then and there I bought a digital copy on Amazon. I was so happy! When I was 10 I never really understood everything, I probably don't even know anything about drugs then but I was very familiar with lucid dreams. When the movie Inception came out, I thought that movie sucked because this movie was THE dream in a dream in a dream movie. When I saw the comments, and reviews, man.. these people probably never saw the coming of superhero movies. Lol. Now it's all heroes, and galaxies, comics.. I wish another movie like this comes out soon now that I'm an adult!
Kinan Aljannan Waking life is one of those movies, that in the middle of them you just know that It's the kind of movies that you know you are going to watch over and over again. it handles a bunch of the hardest questions that many intellectual and open minds ask in life, where you seem you have someone to speak with you about some of the ideas that go through your mind. Excellent movie.
cathcatkate I've watch this film because our professor told us to review this film, The movie of the "Waking life" is one of the most Innovative movies I've ever seen. It has a charm for a new wave of animation films which unfolds the beauty of different existential life questions and somehow resolves some issues. It is a spectacular movie which challenge viewer to think, analyze and to deal with and discuss deeply ingrained issues of philosophy, existence, and thought. This film is Surprisingly good it has a Mind blowing plot, great performances by the actors, great animation and good script.This film still gives me the chills and a blown mind. All I can say is that the director did a pretty good job and deserved a lot of credits.8/10
pace-26-206457 I saw this movie for the first time in 2006, I recently watched it again in 2014 and still think I have many more viewings to go.Its just a beautiful story held together with the most amazing interactions and dialogue. This truly is a movie that will open a persons mind and let a little glimpse of something else in. Its very rare for me to actually enjoy a movie these days, everything seems to be over the top special effects and animation with no story.Im happy to say this is refreshingly the other way around... Watch this movie with a joint in hand and good friends... There will be conversation until well after the credits...
