What makes it different from others?

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Yesterday I saw Réalité for the second time. And I found it even better than the first time. So I had to upgrade my rating from 9 to 10. Why? Well, because this film is... genius... funny... and a great trip altogether:The main story is about a guy (Jason) who has an idea for a film, but all he needs to get a contract signed, is the perfect (death)scream. He strains every nerve to obtain this sound. Then there is also the story of the producer who offers to sign this film, but who is also working on another film. This film, directed by cult director 'Zog', is very intriguing, compelling, a little bit artsy, and eventually the stories get mixed up with each other, and other stories. These other stories involving a cooking studio, a guy who likes dressing up like a woman, and a few more.Boy, did I had a good time watching this movie! The absurd dialogues, the details, the music, the plots mixing together. It had me glued in my chair like Jason.The acting is very good. The filming as well.I believe perhaps one would enjoy the movie more if you're bilingual (French-English)But all in all, one of the most sophisticated movies I've seen in a long time. If you like David Lynch, you will like Réalité

I really can't be sure what this movie/film is trying to be. It is classified as 'comedy' but I didn't notice a single funny part. (Disclaimer, got 30min in before I walked out) - All the characters are unlikable (as in NOT liked not 'can't decide'), Not sure what each scene was trying to put across, and I couldn't tell how any of them were connected (beyond the 'filmed' part of the girl sleeping) and the jumping back and forth between languages again sort of tossed me.I do get that a lot of people give films by 'outside Hollywood' high ratings simply because its a new / different source, but when a movie is bad that you join the other 20+ people who walked out midway simply because the movie was unlikable (And I can honestly say I always try to give everything a chance, and try to see a reason to 'enjoy' something, but this was a stinker, no other way to describe it, almost like it needed a manual explaining what it was about before u sit down to watch it) So forgive me, I'm not yuppie enough to 'enjoy' this. Was a solid stinker. (At least the first 30min was, maybe it got super awesome and insightful beyond that)

I've watched quite a lot of "mind blowing" movies and the way "Reality" blew my mind is similar only to "The Sea That Thinks", but it has something extra: humour. At the end, when the little girl throws the blue video cassette in the garbage I was laughing so hard and I was thinking "Oh, another classic Dupieux movie!". I was imagining myself giving it 10 stars out of ten but then I discovered that was not really the ending scene, it is followed by other two scenes which, apparently, have no other role than playing with our minds and destroying our cult-vision of Quentin. WTF, now I can't recommend it anymore to any of my pretentious cinephile friends. I really think of editing a copy, cut out those scenes and watch the whole movie again like it supposed to be in my mind. I am aware I sound like those guys who comment on movie sites things like "oooh, why that bad guy doesn't die earlier? the movie would be so much better without him... hey, pixar, what are you thinking? you don't want us to like the movie???"

Dupieux lines up again into a circular, nearly closed form of movie-making, that allows him to break out into freedom.This movie is an awake an awake an awake of 'gasp!', by being very natural with the strangeness of discontinuity of interwoven realities.If You like the vortex-character of Lynch-movies, but with the lighter atmosphere of Michel Gondry (Sience of Sleep),- in other words if You are interested in this direction of mind-resetting,check 'Rubber' , 'Wrong' and 'Réalité' out.This is definitely fresh material to feed Your deconstructing mind.
