One man’s manly perspective on…

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (in theaters now)

Three Pros:
1. It was very ambitious and it looked like candy.
2. The story and characters were never predictable.
3. I enjoyed talk of randomness versus organization. True randomness
really does take more energy!

Three Cons:
1. I was ready for it to be over when it ended.
2. The main protagonist was not very likeable.
3. I like adult movies. (Stop giggling.) And I like child-like movies. But often in this film, the two extremes were placed so close together that it was a turn-off.

I would have loved…some chemical assistance to really enjoy it.

I could have done without…a bit of male nudity and a lot of subtitles.

I think Maggie liked…Gael García Bernal in all his glory.

I found the theater experience at Alamo Drafthouse South to
be…excellent. The previews and pre-show are always worth arriving
early. I don’t know if iced tea should cost $4 outside of an airport
Starbucks, but hey, my girl bought my movie ticket, so I ain’t sweatin’!

A good subtitle for the film: The Science of Sleep (and the Religion of
Waking)

A good title for the sequel: The Science of Sleep 2: The Boogeyman Cometh

This movie is perfect for…young, naturally attractive couples who enjoy
foreign films, music videos, and acting like they know what’s going on
when they really don’t.

She Sez
One woman’s womanly perspective on…

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (in theaters now)

Three Pros:
1. Gael Garcia Bernal’s scruffy hair and leisure suit
2. Gael Garcia Bernal dressed in a cat costume
3. really cool visuals and concepts

Three Cons:
1. giant holes in the plot, as if in a dream (yes, this fits, but a little more through-line would have been nice)
2. Gael Garcia Bernal is prettier than the girl he was trying to romance
3. it has one of those abstractly abrupt endings, which is ok i guess, but still a little frustrating

I would have loved…it if I could have followed it better.

I could have done without…the part where his coworker farted. gross.

I think Southpaw liked…the galloping mechanical donkey

I found the theater experience at Drafthouse South to be…true to form - surrounded by hipsters 2 weeks late in viewing this film, and the couple next to us smelled like weed and patchouli.

A good subtitle for the film: The Science of Sleep, or Am I Awake, or Are You Confused?

A good title for the sequel: Wake Up: You Need to Watch This Again.

This movie is perfect for…the art-and-film nerd hybrid hipster deluxe

Unnecessary products that inexplicably tempt me:

It’s the One Click Butter Cutter! ($19.99)

“Portion control is an important part of staying healthy.” Do not give me access to that stick of butter or I’ll just eat it all in one bite! If you’re a millionaire, go get one…
