"from the most prosaic of foundations, Tsai has erected a somnolent reverie on alienation, desire and restlessness."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

"Given the powerful drama of life in this city...it is frustrating in the extreme to see a filmmaker turn so dramatically away from it, and choose banality."  Film Journal International  Chris Barsanti

B+
"A gorgeous film that won't disappoint."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B+
"Cinema with a purity of patience"  Cinepinion  Henry Stewart

53/100
"Tsai's style is essentially written in stone at this point, and [this] hardly challenges it. [He] is as visually adept here as ever, right up to the film's peaceful final shot."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

3/4
"Despite his films' frequently static compositions, Tsai's cinema flows ever forward with ambiguous, multivalent purpose."  Slant Magazine  Keith Uhlich

B
"If it is sometimes confusing sifting through the characters drifting throughthe Malaysian nights, I Don't Want to Sleep Alone is nonetheless successfulin creating a mood that lingers."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

B
"It's a return to the dreamy style of Tsai's studies in urban alienation and social disconnection, in which feelings often are suppressed and words are rarely spoken..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
