Review of The Science of Sleep (2006) by Timothy M — 12 Jan 2011
There's all manner of $4 insults I could level at this. Twee? Indulgent? Lethargic? Vacuous? It is all of this, and yet it is less. An unending eye-roller of a film, something akin to [i]I Heart Huckabees[/i], and yet even worse.
Gondry seems to be very happy with his idea, but I just can't stand quirk for quirk's sake. There's got to be some substance, or meaning, or goal, which is what Charlie Kaufman afforded [i]Eternal Sunshine[/i].
This, however, is just masturbation.
