An intriguing apocalyptic romance with a multi-purpose title.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

The problem with Perfect Sense is its inability to be effective as either a character-based love story or something larger and more bold.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
People around the world progressively lose their senses of smell, taste, hearing and, finally, sight. Too bad the filmmakers never seem to have had a sense of humor in the first place.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Fresh
A solemn sci-fi parable set in present-day Glasgow, whose deepening sense of foreboding is sustained by the enigmatic, pseudo-biblical reflections of an unseen narrator.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
