Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, Variety
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.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
For a movie heralded as the cutting edge of visual innovation, Waking Life is disappointingly dull in every other respect.
-
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
If there was ever a film that made ontological exploration fun, this is it.
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
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.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Truly a one-of -a-kind movie.
