Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    The movie seems unusually honest in portraying the no-option existence of the working poor, but the story slips into melodrama in the last reel.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    It's a film of mood -- and the mood is perfectly captured.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    Sleepwalking provides character arcs for its two protagonists but neither is as interesting or memorable as the performances warrant.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    Portentous and dull, the film features one of the worst over-the-top performances by Dennis Hopper, who plays an abusive father. His role upends what could have been a mildly interesting family drama.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    Saddled with a title all too true to its somnambulist pace, Sleepwalking is a textbook case of a bad movie partially redeemed by good acting.

    Tara's mother is trash, and when she's forced from her home, she bunks in with her younger brother, then deserts her brother (James) and daughter (Tara). James does his best trying to care for Tara, but it isn't easy - he lands up losing his job, and Tara is put into… More

    I've been wanting to see this when I first saw the previews for it earlier this year. Just finally got done with it. I really enjoyed this film. Nick Stahl was great in here and so was Annasophia Robb. A sad and touching film. It's one of the unique ones.
