Boxoffice Magazine
Director David Mackenzie's quietly accomplished film straddles the arthouse world and cult movies with a unique poetic vision. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
You've got to make room in your heart for a film in which the world ends with neither a bang nor a whimper but a cuddle. - 70
Village Voice
Perfect Sense beautifully captures the ache and counterintuitive thrill of "the days as we know them, the world as we imagine the world" fading away by degrees. - 70
Time
What's unusual about the sometimes screwy but mostly smart and always heartfelt Perfect Sense - is its search for a middle ground. - 60
Empire
Odd, but intriguing. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Perfect Sense is a very conventional love story wrapped into a slightly more quirky, apocalyptic yarn and lightly dusted with a touch of true originality. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Perfect Sense is dense: It's a very complex and intelligent story hybrid that, must have looked great on paper and sounded impressive in discussion, but as a movie, it splatters all over the screen in unsatisfying genetic mutations. - 40
