Review of Sleepwalking (2008) by Melanie F — 24 Aug 2009
I disagree with most critics on this movie, though I don't really know why. It might be my personal, if silly, admiration for the roles that AnnaSophia Robb portrays, or the events that are going on in my life currently, but I find this movie to be quite.
.. indescribable. The pace of the movie was slow, yes, and it wasn't much of a roller coaster (there were some downs, and then more downs), but I did feel sympathy and concern and an overwhelming helplessness for the characters.
I felt the tension in my eyebrows as the climax approached and the relief of the fallout afterward. By the end of the movie, you're left in a state of numbness; as if you were sleepwalking, which I can understand would probably lead many to conclude the movie counterproductive, but to me, for a film to do this to my emotions, it's pretty successful in fulfilling its namesake.
