Insomnia Reviews
7M Pictures
Insomnia is a slow burn, and the European influences are very obvious in both pacing and tone.

Observer [UK]
An exceptional picture from one of the most gifted British filmmakers to emerge in the past decade.
Movie Metropolis
...if there is anything that spoils the fun, it's the plot itself, which is too straightforward and offers too few surprises to be entirely engaging.

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Fans of the original will miss its relentless dyspepsia, but Nolan's intention was clearly to cast the material in a more conventional Hollywood mold without turning it into namby-pamby nonsense, and he succeeds admirably.

The film is creepy, and not because of any one particular scene or moment, but because Nolan takes us, body and soul, into a place that all is illuminated all the time

Looking Closer
Ultimately, Nolan's film asks the question: Do the ends justify the means? Dormer is willing to go to cover up the truth to bring about a result that is good for the world.

Radio Free Entertainment
Never reaches its full potential, but still manages to be better than the average, run-of-the-mill crime thriller.

Cinema em Cena
Inteligente suspense que conta com ótimos diálogos e atuações deslumbrantes de Pacino e Williams. As cenas em que estes contracenam são geniais - e a fotografia e as locações são belíssimas.
| Original Score: 4/5
Empire Magazine
Pacino is on world-beating form and Williams delivers his best straight performance yet.

Pacino gives one of the best performances I've seen him in; his sense of sleeplessness is infectuous, weighing down the entire proceeding with a kind of relentless fatigue.
