Perfect Sense: Ewan McGregor and Eva Green star as two people who enter into a relationship just as humanity is starting to break down. All over the world, people have lost their sense of smell, and over a small period of time, other senses start to fade as well, one by one. Director David Mackenzie, working with a low budget, keeps everything suitably intimate and personal, providing small glimpses at the bigger picture without removing the focus from the central characters. There are some truly harrowing moments, particularly when people realize their senses are fading and make last-gasp attempts to take everything in before it's gone, but there are some deeply affecting moments as well, as everyone learns to continue on with their lives, if only for a short while before the next change. Like the equally overlooked and tonally similar Never Let Me Go, Berardinelli gave this film a dismissive **1/2 rating. Personally, I found it an incredibly moving and effective piece of work, and it stands a good chance of finding its way into my top 10 at the end of the year. 9/10.

Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loved this film. In part due to Berardinelli's sadly dismissive review, I went into it not really expecting all that much, so I was surprised and delighted when the film went above and beyond my expectations. I'll echo Kunz's enthusiastic recommendation; it already seems destined to become an overlooked gem, and more people need to give it a chance.

Here's what I wrote about the film a month back:
