C
"The film is a dissection of damaged goods, but in place of a steady hand guiding matters to believable and sympathetic ends, director Bill Maher (not that one) takes the picture to unwanted extremes of behavior and guilt."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

1.5/4
"The inherently uneventful nature of Stanford's script becomes more and more problematic as the film progresses..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"A small-scale family drama that walks the walk, but doesn't seem to know where it's going half the time."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Stylistically strange, sluggish and ultimately unsatisfying domestic drama."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"Sleepwalking provides character arcs for its two protagonists but neither is as interesting or memorable as the performances warrant."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/4
"The cast performs gamely in this grim and gray affair, but with Stanford's words and dead end story, the actors never really stood a chance."  Bangitout.com  Jordan Hiller

C
"Dennis Hopper just co-starred with Rainn Wilson in a parody of indie movie cliches for the Independent Spirit Awards broadcast, and, as it turns out, several scenes from his latest movie could have been included."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2.5/4
"The cast is uniformly excellent, starting with 14-year-old Robb -- she makes a strong transition from child roles with her portrayal of the mercurial Tara."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"[V]isually impressive but naratively underpowered..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1/4
"Every line is a Big Statement, every character has exactly one defining quality, and every plot development is cornier than the last."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

6/10
"Not quite enough new here to make this film a hit, but enough of Theron, Hopper and Harrelson to make the film worth watching."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

"Sleepwalking is a frustrating case because Stahl, Robb and Theron all give performances that are subtle, delicate and smart -- it's just that they're steamrollered by the movie's relentlessness."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
