Acclaimed composer Max Richter and filmmaker Yulia Mahr prepare to stage the eight-hour magnum opus "Sleep."

David Stratton

The Australian

This "different way of listening to music" is, as the film notes, something to be experienced, not necessarily to be listened to. As a filmed insight into Richter's bold endeavour the film proves to be a very calming experience.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

It is a beguiling film, perhaps because Richter's work is beguiling.

Concrete Playground

Viewed now in the middle of a pandemic, it feels like a calming balm for the soul - as it was clearly always supposed to, even long before the world dissolved into its current status quo.

If there was ever a balm for these confusing times, then it's Max Richter's Sleep, a lullaby of a documentary.
