Review by jnbonicar

This is a great indie film about addiction. As the filmmaker himself said, it doesn't focus on the addict, but, instead, the people around. Here, our two heroes suffer their mom's drug addiction. The script is great, well paced and most important, the characters are very engaging, it's easy to identify with them and we're engaged from the beginning to the end. The story seems simple, basic but is never boring and finally is complex, the relations are much more complex than what they seem to be. The cast is flawless, Wyatt Oleff, Fin Argus and Chrissy Metz give all three solid, perfect performances. STAY AWAKE is not a film that you'll forget soon after watching it.
