 | I liked it a lot too... but it does stand to compare to Eternal Sunshine... both movies are sort of subconsious
 explorations of human relationships and both are directed by
 the same fellow.

 | ture ture..but Eternal is the work of a master script writer...so its a lot more cohesive (i know nobody would
 have said that about Eternal when it first came
 out)...Science is barely held together by the sticky tape
 they use for the projects in the film :)...very random and
 chaotic....

 | eternal sunshine was half gondry and half kaufman. after all, gondry worked on the story too, along with pierre
 bismuth. and none of that visual invention came from
 kaufman. but in terms of the script, that was pure kaufman,
 jah.
 
 the science of sleep was surprisingly honest in terms of the
 main character's behaviour, which apparently put off a great
 deal of the critics. i found it refreshing as i could
 actually relate to a character in a modern movie, which i
 haven't really been able to do up until this point. and i do
 mean that i can relate to his more disagreeable traits, the
 type of erratic behaviour you'd never see in a movie that
 wants to be liked, which is just about every movie you can
 think of. i give it three thumbs up.

 | i felt exactly the same way about it.  i identified with the main character so much, it almost scared me.
 
 people keep talking about how ridiculous he was, how nothing
 he did made any sense, and i just keep thinking, "but i
 would have done the exact same thing..."
 
 i think i made a thread about this when it came out, but
 meh, whatever.
