Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A Disappointing Continuation

Billie Morin

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Waking life is one of those movies, that in the middle of them you just know that It's the kind of movies that you know you are going to watch over and over again. it handles a bunch of the hardest questions that many intellectual and open minds ask in life, where you seem you have someone to speak with you about some of the ideas that go through your mind. Excellent movie.

A lot is been written about this movie here and yes, it's great. What it wants to give us is the most precious for a human being: awakening or enlightenment. That's what the movie is about. It becomes clear in the scene in which Linklater talks about time and getting to the yes. This means a state of consciousness. One accepts all facets of his life without any inner resistance and also has no feeling of time in this clear state of mind. Howsoever, i know two people who had that experience after a mental process that took months initiated by this movie. I recommend it to anyone doubting on his life and who is open to new views. Thanks for this unique movie.

Richard Linklater is a well respected and renowned director in Hollywood, but when he feels he has something to say, he says it with artistic integrity and never talks down to his audience.This is one of the most inspired works of art i've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. the rotoscope feature of the film only enhances the philosophical and sociological ideologies. Linklater also explored rotoscoping to a more impressive degree with A Scanner Darkly some years later. i like to watch this film as often as i can, and completely recommend it.
