Sonâmbula

Another poster nailed it. The last screens explained it all quite tidily. Only thing I don't understand... the folks that didn't understand lol Excellent film and I'm glad I watched it.

Sleepwalker certainly makes an attempt to be a mind bending thriller, and does so with mixed results. The viewer might have to watch the film twice to get the gist of its meaning. I did!

A woman is found sleepwalking in the middle of the night and has no idea where she is. The police find her and return her to her dorm. She has a history of sleep walking and is concerned it is starting again. After another nights restlessness, she decides to go to the College sleep study program to be monitored.

After the first time she does this things start to become strange. Things around her start to change subtly. The Dr. In charge takes a personal interest in her case and attempts to help her as things progressively get stranger and stranger as the studies continue.

The rest of the film is an exercise in uncertainty, nightmares, and amnesia. The film, I thought, was somewhat thought provoking but misses the mark as a real mind bending thriller. It is more a film about a woman with a sleep disorder which turns into a mix of confusion, hallucinations And scattered reality.

I would say it worth a viewing but don't expect much in way of a strong thriller....

+1 Star For Keeping me confused as to what was going on thru the first half...

+1 Star For Some Exterior Scenes Being filmed Outside my Childhood Church

-1 Star For The Ending . Was Not Impressed By the Ending at all.

Okay this movie had a lot of build up that was well done and satisfying up to the point about 20 minutes til the end where the movie needs an adequate payoff or it really doesn't fit the bill.

In my opinion it didn't fit the bill. Does that make it a horrible movie? No of course not, but it also doesn't make it great. LOL Compare to Memento??? Please. Not even in the same horse race.

If you don't watch a lot of movies, you might find this one to be entertaining. If you have watched a lot, then you'll notice how unimaginative this movie truly was. I don't have particularly high standards for all movies. But if you're going to be a slow burn, at least have a good ending. The ending was a letdown. Truly a waste of time.

I watched this, and for the most part enjoyed it, but what on Earth was it about, what was going on? I concentrated from start to finish, but simply could not follow it, I am all for complexity in films, ambiguity, but this just made absolutely no sense, events were happening just for the sake of it.

The ending sucked, totally lazy writing, to an unforgivable extent, very definitely a case of 'did they think they could get away with that in this day and age?'

The acting was excellent, very impressive performances, and the visuals were truly excellent.

I did like it, even if I didn't quite follow it. Mehh, 5/10
