Susan is a scientist searching for answers to important questions. So important that she has given up on other things, like love - until she meets Micheal. Susan and Michael find themselves embarking on a sensual adventure while the world around them seems to be falling apart.
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.
New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein
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.
Filmed with the somber pretentiousness of a "Babel," the movie never quite converts its premise into something grander (never mind believable). Meanwhile, the world starts to riot, yet their bed is warm. Will love save the day? Unfortunately for us, our sense of smell remains intact.
Mackenzie's second collaboration with Ewan McGregor (following 2003's "Young Adam") tritely tosses together two indifferently conceived characters against a backdrop of global panic that generates no urgency.
Odd, but intriguing.
Boxoffice Magazine by Ray Greene
Director David Mackenzie's quietly accomplished film straddles the arthouse world and cult movies with a unique poetic vision.
And there is Ewan McGregor, who makes entirely too many movies and only occasionally makes an effort to speak the kind of English anyone can understand.
What's unusual about the sometimes screwy but mostly smart and always heartfelt Perfect Sense - is its search for a middle ground.
Coping with his mother's death, a British teenager begins spying on a woman that resembles her.
Reality is a state of mind.
What you can't see, can kill you.

We are all products of our environment ...some environments are just harder to survive in
There's never a wrong time for the right move
