Holly Grigg-Spall Film4 Numb doesn't work...It's glib, flip, and cheesy as hell. Rated: 2/5 Jul 8, 2008 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com I'd be lying if I said I felt any less numb than Hudson by the end of the movie. Rated: 3/5 Jun 18, 2008 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...stands out as a refreshingly innovative spin on a contemporary romantic comedy... Rated: 3/4 May 13, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Liz E I loved thìs movie. I became depersalized after stopping an anxiety medication years ago. MY story was not the same of course but THAT STATE OF MIND was so indescribable and I could not explain it to anyone! The movie made me laugh when I thought no one in the world could understand this crazy state of mind. Well? I felt relieved that it was something real and I was not totally crazy. Lol..... GOOD mental health type movie and I like that it's a comedy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review The H No one can explain what depersonalization is, not even this film Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review John E As someone who has lived through a time of my life with de-personalisation disorder, it was interesting to see similar traits portrayed in this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/22 Full Review Audience Member I just loved because it's a deep story of a man in search of a solution to his disorder, and at the same time, has the lightness of a love so sweet and sincere. Matthew Perry is absurdly wonderful. I wanted to hold him and take him home, in many scenes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member best film about depersonalization ever made! (so sad) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member An otherwise slow, cheesy little romantic drama the importance of which rests comfortably on two facts alone: In its core, it addresses depersonalization disorder, a haunting condition largely unheard of and rarely talked about -- and Matthew Perry's excellent, unChandler-like performance. Here, have my three and a half stars, "Numb". You've earned them. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
