Comments:
Simply
brilliant. Chasing Sleep is one of the best movies
I've seen lately. Its creepy, disturbing atmosphere
is as good as anything David Lynch has ever done.
The lighting and camerawork are beyond incredible.
Very slow, well-paced, gentle on the eyes, and still
disturbing and powerful. The acting is subtle and
very convincing. I wish Jeff Daniels would get more
roles like this one. He's a great actor. The other
actors in this movie are good, too. The script is
fascinating and definitely makes you think, without
using any tired plot devices and clichés. One
thing that I particularly liked about the movie is
that it never gets boring, not even for a second.
This is quite rare, especially in a movie that is
so slow. 10/10
