    Storyline

    Edit
    Bliss is a mind-bending love story following Greg (Owen Wilson) who, after recently being divorced and then fired, meets the mysterious Isabel (Salma Hayek), a woman living on the streets and convinced that the polluted, broken world around them is just a computer simulation. Doubtful at first, Greg eventually discovers there may be some truth to Isabel's wild conspiracy.

      When Isabel shoots Kendo, she tosses the gun to her side before walking up to him. When she kneels down to remove the crystals from his back pocket, she is still holding on to the gun.
    • Quotes

      Isabel Clemens: The thing is that... it's amazing how easy humans can get used to even something spectacular. Most people say, "Ignorance is bliss," but I say... you have to experience the good to appreciate the bad.

      Greg Wittle: No, the other way around.

      Isabel Clemens: Exactly.

    7/10
    Incorrectly marketed... but fresh and inventive.
    This film is marketed as a sci-fi, altered reality adventure. It isn't. "Bliss" is a drug-induced hallucination from the perspective of a man who has lost touch with reality and fallen in love with an enabler. This is his struggle to regain his sobriety and reconnect with his estranged daughter. The film is a bit messy and the acting is simply passable... However, it is fresh and inventive, and it moves along swiftly.
