The story is fair and the idea is worth discussing, but I'm not sure about the way the events go. I'm not sure what the writer wants to tell the audience, is it the story of the boy or the mother... Full review

My interpretation of "Sleepwalking" as extremely depressing may spring from the fact that I knew nothing about it when I started watching it. Charlize Theron plays down-and-out Jolene, who dumps her daughter Tara (AnnaSophia Robb) on her brother James (Nick Stahl)... Full review

New director William Maher and writer Zac Stanford previously worked together in THE CHUMSCRUBBER and the similarity of vision is apparent in SLEEPWALKING: both films deal with the empty shells of hollow people aimlessly seeking connection in a world that... Full review

Reeling Reviews
Sleepwalking" is a slice of depressing Americana that, while isn't exactly boring too watch, leaves its audience wondering why it bothered. Although it boasts an otherwise fine cast, debuting director Bill Maher and his screenwriting colleague from "The Chumbscrubber" have delivered an earnest film that fails to flesh out its characters and doesn't earn its resolutions. ...

But, sadly, the movie fails, unable to capitalize on its generally strong performances. Theron, who also produced the film, is the exception here -- but even she isn't horrible so much as overdone. ... Full Review

Sleepwalking, which should have been titled Sleepwatching, is an endless mirage of schemed mechanics, whose sole intent is to depress viewers, though is misled in its attempt, hitting themes one would expect to find in a noontime soap rather than those of sincerity and passion, which are required to make well with its material. ...

He loses his construction job (Woody Harrelson has too few scenes as a co-worker), his apartment, and Tara (to child services). Theron's semi-blowsy, self-pitying character, Joleen, wears high-heeled snakeskin boots, tight jeans, and great big earrings. ... Full Review

The Cinema Source
As a character study, Sleepwalking is above average, consistently illuminating the backstories and personalities of the characters with impressive subtlety and subtext. The lack of any significant twists or even plot points might bore some less patient audience members, and it would be hard to disagree with them: scenes can often feel ponderous or unnecessary (although even in those cases the actors tend to sell it). ...
