Waking Life

"All I remember is that my middle school friend kept recommending this movie and was a weird trip. Wasn't bad."

"If you love dialogue welcome to heaven. Super ******* interesting conversations about the human experience and consciousness. Beautiful animation to top it off."

"I really really wanted to love this movie, but overall, I felt that it was just fine. It's far from bad by any means, but it isn't like top tier good. For one, I really love the different styles of animation and how each style fluidly transitions with one another. Also, I did appreciate the whole philosophy subject of the movie, but that's where my appreciation stops. I felt like the film was dragging by the half point of the movie, and also the plot was stretched really thin, that's if there was any plot at all. Also, I didn't gravitate towards the main character, I get that he was just a vessel for the movie to delve into different philosophies about the meaning of life but still, who doesn't love character driven stories. This is more of an avant-garde documentary if anything, worth watching once based out of curiosity or crossing it of your "Trippy/Psychedelic movie watchlist" but it's a film I won't be eager to watch again........... unless I'm tripping off shrooms or something. "

"Celine and Jesse appear in a scene"

"There are segments of this film that ought to be watched every day. There is such wisdom encapsulated here."

"Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled. The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything. The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room. "

"Woah this one was nuts but amazing!!!"

"Great film!"

"Incredible! Richard Linklater is a genius!"

"Thought provoking and beautifully animated "
