Sleep (I) (2022) User Reviews

Just one shot

[BandSAboutMovies · 7/10 · 26 June 2022]

Director and writer Alexandra Pechman (who wrote an episode of the lamented Channel Zero, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night") has an audacious idea here: film Kate Adams (who was also in her film Thumb) for nearly four minutes in the same unmoving shot as she loses her mind at the sound of home invaders just feet away from her.

Bonus - many bonus - points given for ending this as a variation of the urban legend of the licking dog, yet adding plenty more to that tale. No spoilers - this is an inspired film that truly could only work as a short. Well done.

the fear. its answer

[Kirpianuscus · 23 June 2023]

A so frequent fear animating children or single people . And its fair, precise, inspired reflection in one shot film , admirable for wise translation in image of tension, doubts, dialogue with the other and fair minimalism, brilliant for the end.

A short film with potential of parable about different forms of intrusion.

The coming of morning scenes are the precious virtue of film who more, in admirable manner, reminds a fear than presented, working as come back to old , familiar thrills, intense beating of heart, need of certitude and the sleep as refuge for the clearness of nex day.

Kate Adams offers , in so simple apparent way, a great role.
