It's a slow-burner of a film,if you like well acted films which pay off at the end this is for you.Plus Dennis Hopper gives a very commanding performance,class never fades
Sleepwalking
Kevin CrustThe melodrama of a broken family haunted by its past, a perennial favorite of independent filmmakers, gets a forceful but ultimately flawed workout in Sleepwalking.
Terrific performances and a bleak, riveting look at life on the economic fringes eventually gives way to an overly familiar tale of abuse, denial and catharsis that feels like warmed over Sam Shepard minus the poetry.
