A bold film that's elevated because of Bernal's unexpected stellar performance.

I dare say that years from now The Science of Sleep will be seen as a daring, bold and visionary film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 22, 2020

Science of Sleep is almost overstuffed with visual delights. If you can sit through it once, you may get hooked and have to drag yourself away from the theatre, the way Stephane has to drag himself out of bed.

Michel Gondry's overactive imagination alone makes the film worth seeing.

The Science Of Sleep is truly a delight at times, a startlingly original piece of work that's not as accessible as Eternal Sunshine but is every bit as magnificent when in full flow.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2012

It's kind of weird and very French, but don't let that scare you. The Science of Sleep is well worth your time.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 1, 2011

A nightmare

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 5/11 | Feb 28, 2008

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2008

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

A visual treat from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2007

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

| Apr 28, 2007

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.

Full Review | Mar 15, 2007

Another comic love story that takes us inside a character's psyche, but Kaufman's rock-solid jokes are replaced by whimsy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2007
