James B Charles Dickens, in Great Expectations, reflects: “That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.” This reflection perfectly captures the essence of Sleepers. All of our lives unfold day by day, shaped by ordinary routines and unforeseen events. For some, life flows smoothly, untroubled by sudden disruptions. But for others, a single day can introduce a moment so profound that it irrevocably alters the trajectory of their existence. Sleepers portrays this haunting truth, showing how one fateful incident in childhood sets in motion a chain of events that reverberates through the lives of its characters, leaving an indelible mark on their futures. The film boasts strong performances all around—from Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon, and Jason Patric, to Minnie Driver and the rest of the cast. The plot flows beautifully, unfolding with precision and emotional weight, guided by solid direction that never lets the story lose its grip on the audience.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Gregory S Truly one of the most underrated movies of all time. It’s absolutely heartbreaking and real. That this was not at least nominated for best picture of the year is truly unreal.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Audience Member A movie that never gets mentioned in any conversation. If ever there were a movie that was 5 stars AND seems to have disappeared from the cannon of cinematic excellence= it's this. First off- the Cast is extraordinary. All acted perfectly. 2nd= the story is super original and yet I'm sure has actually happened many times through the decades. It's depraved and shocking and sad and ends with a great redemption. Any detractors about anything of this movie must not be able to know great cinema nor be able to insert themselves in the era from which the movie was created. I find that often when people complain about a movie they are almost always young and saw it much after the fact and were not born yet when the movie first hit the theatres. This is a 5 star movie and a spectacular add to any serious collectors. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
