24   1. 50     A feeling of hopelessness pervades Sleepwalking.
2. A soporific dud, which should have been tossed out of
Sundance.   3. 38     Relentlessly depressing.   4. 63
Stanford's script is painfully obvious, right down to the line
of dialogue spelling out the title's significance.   5. But the
regularly overlooked Stahl burrows honestly into this unpleasant
place, adding another worthy portrait to his indie gallery of
interesting losers. He's still an actor worth keeping your eyes
on. Assuming you can keep them open.   6. As Mr. Maher, in his
feature directing debut, brings in surreal touches and puts on
literary airs, the film’s grip loosens, and its vernacular turns
increasingly wooden.   7. Reviewed by: Claudia Puig   8. 50
The movie seems terrified of true psychological complexity or
perversity. It's less a family tragedy than a lousy country
dirge.   9. 50   10.
