For the most part this was a solid thriller. I rank the acting at an 8, and the script at a 4. It was a very mystifying story that I failed to understand, but I still was entertained. The pacing and cinematography were on point.
I recommend this film to a degree, although I think it takes a special analysis to fully unpack some of the themes. I imagine re-examining some the dialogue about identity would help me sort out the confusion.
Just take it for what it is- you'll be on a 90 minute mind-bending roller coaster ride. Try not to think too hard about the film's meaning and you will have a pleasant experience.

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....

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.
Curious writing. Certainly confusing. Purposefully. Ending was acceptable but left many questions. Felt like there were a few changes to script along the way, less intentional. Enjoyed cast. Lead actress is wonderful. I enjoyed it for general idea of the subject matter, which i always make a point to watch. ; sleep related thrillers.
Acting was great, considering the script and story was absolute bobbins. I didn't get it at all, I followed it all the way through but didn't get the point of the story. None of it made sense.
