This film was different than anything I've ever seen, for the most part. Was it amazing? No, but it was original and it worked which is hard to pull off. It didn't come off as overdone or too out there, the film did what it what it was meant to do and the concept was portrayed successfully. That aside, the story was lacking and unsatisfying just like the ending. I would say this films strengths reside in the shots and the ideas, and it makes it worth watching and recommending. The blending of real life and stop motion in the dream world was great. That was the most intriguing things that the science of sleep pulled off. Good movie with a bland story.

I really enjoyed the science of sleep. I liked how it was super weird but made sense at the same time. The story was written well enough to support the crazy scenes that were visualized inside Stephane's head. I thought the shots inside his head with the cardboard window pulley's we're super neat and a great addition to it. I particularly enjoyed this film because it's what I want to aim towards when creating my own. It steers away from larger plot ideas and get's into the brain and explores all the little things that make people quirky and unique. I really liked Stephanie's character and the way she was intertwined between reality and Stephan's dreams throughout the movie. The creativity level with set design to costumes amazed me along with the way each scene played out.

This movie put a lot of weight on Stephane's dreams, and I liked how the movie implemented hos world of dreams in a creative way, how he creates dreams in his dream studio. I also thought the use of different props as minor details shown throughout the movie was brilliant- indirectly viewing the minds of our protagonists. Personally, I thought the acting of Stephane was excellent- I was absorbed in his character, his childish personality, his mental world; everything was acted perfectly. However, the story was a bit hard to understand, and the unfolding of the story felt really dull and even boring. I also thought the ending was not so good either, as it ended without solving anything or proposing any kind of direction the two characters will take. So, to make a long story short, the creative and details are excellent, but the story may not be attracting for some people.

It was the worst, most disgusting, unmindful, unrealistic movie i ever seen in my life.I have been watching since i am 10 nearly every week but i have never seen that much depressed movie. I just wasted my 100 minutes of my life for this rubbish. Never watch it, don't believe the votes...I cant even tell you how bad was it..If you really think it worths to watch then go on..But now i assure you that i feel depressed too.It just brought me some bad memories and how a person can be miserable that much.. If you are in depressed mind i strongly suggest you to not watch this rubbish..
