Perfect Sense (2011), David McKenzie
4/5
Don't be fooled by the poster, this isn't your average romance drama. This is an emotional, psychological thriller, with excellent performances and brilliantly complimentary cinematography. Ewan McGregor and Eva Green are outstanding as the leads. At each turn of the film, it went were I wanted it to go, while this was somewhat predictable it was apt and gratifying in the end product. Not sure why it got mixed reviews. Perhaps it wasn't as action and hollywood style or palatable to the masses? I would put this alongside other dramatic science fiction films like Monsters (2010) and Another Earth (2011). While it does have some obvious overtones and sappiness, for the most part it is beautifully crafted. Overall it is really intense and draws so many parallels through metaphor, I found it moving and insightful.
