“Perfect Sense” follows a scientist named Susan and a chef named Michael as they meet under unlikely circumstances. Susan and Michael begin a romance, but their happiness is short-lived. Across the globe, a mysterious virus is striking down millions of people, causing them to slowly lose their five senses. Susan and Michael become infected, and must try to retain their relationship as the world falls apart around them. “Perfect Sense” is an incredibly intense and provocative movie. Its plotline is incredible, and perfectly blends romance, tragedy, and science fiction together. Unfortunately, it is rather slow in pace, and its ‘happy ending build up’ is disappointing. This film is also unbelievably depressing, but that is expected, given the nature of the plot and its messages. The characters are elegant and beautifully written, and the actors and actresses’ talents truly shine in “Perfect Sense”. The cinematography is also wonderful, and while the colour scheme is rather bleak, it adds to the film’s sense of despair. The film has a very minimal soundtrack, and it instead makes use of narration and silence to help carry the plot and set the eerie mood of the film. Overall, the author of this review recommends “Perfect Sense”. While it does have its flaws, it is still a highly intoxicating film that will make thrill audiences and make viewers reconsider their own lives. Due to graphic content and some nudity within in the film, the author of this review believes “Perfect Sense” to be suitable for ages sixteen and up.
