Valoraciones y reseñas

The "Mind-Bender" genre generally has its ups and downs, as some movies push the genre's envelope with innovative ideas while others simply recycle old tropes into new combinations. "Sleepwalker" artfully toes the line between familiar themes and new, original twists. As "Sarah," Ahna O'Reilly delivers a genuine performance that combines an almost childlike innocence with the maturity of someone acquainted with grief and trauma. As we follow her journey through this ominous wonderland, soon the twists and turns in the plot line leave us just as confused and scared as our leading lady. The film pushes the audience beyond sympathy for her mental instability and into a real empathy, as our emotions mirror hers and her struggle becomes ours. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Richard Armitage, who plays opposite Ahna O'Reilly, does just as wonderful a job. In fact, the relationship between these two characters is refreshingly simple, yet it brings a critical third dimension to the story. Very well done.
