I like intellectual stimulation, but this waste of film was pretentious and annoying. This movie is for people in love with their own intelligence who sit around in coffeehouses writing bad poetry and talking about existentialism making sure to talk loud enough for others to hear and perhaps be enlightened by them while pretending to be really into the conversation and oblivious to those around them. There is very little art in the world and heaps of crap. Add "Waking Life" to the crap pile. If more people had a life, they wouldn't need to sit and watch other people talk about life. Sure exploration of existence is neat, but since it's beyond words, it makes any words about it become boring and irritating. Even worse is watching others do so. In short, rent the DVD, scratch it deeply, then return it and smile. It's a beer coaster waiting to happen.
