While You Were Sleeping is an honest, patient, and loving film....Though a failed sequel would leave much to be desired, the original film is heart-pounding, fascinating, and the picture-perfect definition of a thriller.....Bullock established herself here as a solid and worthwhile actress.....it features an ensemble cast, it's worthy of inclusion given Bullock's ability to conquer a serious, emotionally complicated role.....Perhaps the first time a young Bullock came to the attention of the American public ...

While You Were Sleeping" is no great shakes, but as this season's gentle, feel-good romantic amusement, it works quite well.
