Perfect Sense (R) 7.5

Perfect Sense (2011): After sparks fly between a newly single epidemiologist and a charming chef, a puzzling patient -- a truck driver who's lost his ability to smell -- drastically alters the couple's budding relationship. (7.0)

Director: David Mackenzie
Writer: Kim Fupz Aakeson
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green and Lauren Tempany

Watch this movie without knowing anything about it. I thought it was a simple romance story and I found rest of the, um, "developments" quite intriguing.  (So, if you haven't seen it; and want to watch it; stop reading this review now.) While this movie is a sci-fi look at, sort of, post-apocalyptic world, it is also a reflection of today's society.  Think of things that happen, in the movie, to the world before the sensory perceptions deteriorate ... they are happening today, without our senses going out. More often than not, we in today's society experience extreme emotional states. This is a thinking-man's sci-fi thriller. My Rating: 7.5
