Critics Consensus

Winsor McCay's classic Nemo comics are fertile ground for the right filmmaker, but Slumberland forsakes the spirit of the strips in favor of senseless spectacle.

Audience Consensus

The story's great, the acting is solid, and the visuals are dazzling -- don't sleep on Slumberland.

Pretty good movie. Jason Momoa rocked in his roll. It is a little on the childish side, but it is a kids movie. Gives similar vibes to BFG

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A little silly themed, changing from dreamworld to reality. Didn't really know where the film was going. One of them in which once you've seen it, you probably wouldn't watch again.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The realm of dreams is described as “a world with no consequence,” but as constructed, that comes in a movie with no clear creative compass, proving more mystifying than magical.

The biggest problem with Slumberland is its utter innocuousness.

Wall Street Journal

Ms. Barkley comes across as a kid rather than a studio creation. Mr. Momoa gives the kind of unhinged performance of which few would have thought him capable. His prancing about at moments of joy are, in fact, joyous.

An unimaginative adaptation of an imaginative 20th-century comic strip.

Robert Roten

Laramie Movie Scope

What the actors, music and visual creative teams have here done is create a magical world that relates to the real world as well. It goes beyond the coming of age genre, dealing with parenthood and retaining the wonder of childhood as an adult.

Rated: A
