The setup has mysterious promise, but the film cheaps out on a satisfying payoff. Go to Full Review Andy Webster New York Times 11/20/2014
With strong assists from the cinematographer Zachary Galler and her ex-husband, the composer Sondre Lerche, Ms. Fastvold, previously a director of music videos, has painted a resonant tableau of dysfunction. Go to Full Review Jordan Hoffman Guardian 11/20/2014
I was, much to my own surprise, engrossed in this story from pretty much the first frame. Go to Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie 06/08/2019

The Sleepwalker fails at this for two reasons; its central mystery isn't that compelling, and the four central characters are too broadly drawn to want to invest anything into them. Go to Full Review Dan Mecca The Film Stage 06/21/2016

The Sleepwalker is a good movie stuck between too much style and too little direction. Go to Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 12/31/2014

08/19/2016 Quite interesting and mysterious movie that was way too ambiguous but with good performances and cinematography. But still it needed a little more explanation and elaboration on what was going on. ~August 19, 2016~ See more 05/17/2015 Not everyone can read implications, nuances. It is a very good character study, and perspective of human nature. I liked the ending leaving you in wonderment. See more 05/10/2015 Mona Fastvold's film doesn't quite work, but the style and approach kept me glued to the screen. The performances are exceptional. This is a great debut from a first time filmmaker. See more 01/06/2015 Aparte de una interesante fotografía, es poco lo que deja The Sleepwalker. Una historia que es imposible que sea atractiva sin la violencia y abuso, es la que nos entrega Mona Fastvold. Lástima que cae en esos desagradables clichés, como los celos del dueño de casa, la afinidad entre los desconocidos, etc. No recomendable.
