Critic Reviews of "Waking Life"
VarietyOctober 31, 2006This 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.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006The 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.
Minneapolis Star TribuneNovember 06, 2002For a movie heralded as the cutting edge of visual innovation, Waking Life is disappointingly dull in every other respect.
New York Magazine/VultureJanuary 22, 2002If there was ever a film that made ontological exploration fun, this is it.
Salon.comDecember 05, 2001Exhilarating, 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.
Miami HeraldNovember 08, 2001An instant cult classic, one that's tailor-made for multiple viewings and bound to be popular among college students.
Old School ReviewsFebruary 13, 2011a commercial ripoff designed to confuse art-house patrons
Common Sense MediaDecember 29, 2010Love-it-or-hate-it film best for older teens.
Suite101.comNovember 22, 2010A 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?
Cinema CrazedApril 29, 2009A brilliant film that provokes thought, idea, and conversations within the audience through its surreal animation and incredibly profound conversations.
Film4September 09, 2008Form 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.
eFilmCritic.comJuly 24, 2007A true independent film that uses animation techniques to their utmost.
