Form and content fit perfectly: even if the highbrow babbling gets a bit much, the hypnotic animation means that there is always something to watch, like characters suddenly dissolving into smoke or spectacles expanding.

The endless philosophising is a bit sophomoric and more jokes would help, but this is one of a kind that grows more absorbing the longer it runs.

A true independent film that uses animation techniques to their utmost.

An instant cult classic, one that's tailor-made for multiple viewings and bound to be popular among college students.

A brilliant film that provokes thought, idea, and conversations within the audience through its surreal animation and incredibly profound conversations.

a commercial ripoff designed to confuse art-house patrons

This inventive animated film, which takes Linklater back to his roots in Austin and Slacker, represents a summation of all the philosophical concerns that have defined him as spokesperson for Gen-X.

If there was ever a film that made ontological exploration fun, this is it.
November 22, 2010
A far-out-man poetry slam, art exhibit and imaginative philosophical discourse all at once drifts gently down a stream of consciousness until merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, "Waking Life" is but a dream. Who says existential fiction must be dreary?

For a movie heralded as the cutting edge of visual innovation, Waking Life is disappointingly dull in every other respect.

Love-it-or-hate-it film best for older teens.
December 05, 2001
Exhilarating, transporting, funny and haunting -- and at times maddeningly heady or narcotically logy -- Waking Life doesn't compare to any other movie experience I've ever had.
