Asleep in My Palm explores the nature of parenthood and class in America as a father and daughter live off the grid in rural Ohio near a small liberal arts college. The two must face the challenges of her sexual awakening and need for independence as he escapes his violent and conflicted past. At once poignant and mordantly funny, the film delves into an America rarely seen, while juxtaposing it with the rarified privileges of an elite college in the social media age.

Nelson pulls off something strangely lovely and generous on the whole, a clear-eyed film with something to say on the kinds of lives many would rather not talk about.

Rated: 2.5/4

Kyle Smith

Wall Street Journal

Asleep in My Palm is a virtuoso debut feature from writer-director Henry Nelson, Mr. Nelson’s son. The younger Mr. Nelson has fashioned a powerful fable, something like a contemporary take on John Steinbeck.

Screen Rant

Strong performances from Tim Blake Nelson and Chloë Kerwin elevate Henry Nelson's Asleep In My Palm, which contradicts itself one too many times.

Rated: 2.5/5

Movies Thru the Spectrum

Why Nelson felt the need to cover the same territory as "Leave No Trace" is puzzling since it deprives his film of originality.

Rated: B-
