Reviews for The Sleepy Time Gal
From the dull, surreal ache of mortal awareness emerges a radiant character portrait.
05/28/02
Top CriticA captivating and intimate study about dying and loving...
02/13/03
A melancholy, emotional film.
04/10/02
A thoughtful, moving piece that faces difficult issues with honesty and beauty.
09/27/02
It's delicate, haunting and sultry.
05/29/02
Top CriticMünch's genuine insight makes the film’s occasional overindulgence forgivable.
04/10/02
To the film's credit, the acting is fresh and unselfconscious, and Munch is a marvel of reality versus sappy sentiment.
05/24/02
Doesn't reach for the obvious buttons that a weepy mainstream cancer film, like 'Stepmom' or 'Life As a House,' would push.
07/24/02
Excellent performances from Jacqueline Bisset and Martha Plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama.
05/29/02
Bisset still commands the screen as the graceful and outspoken Frances.
05/29/02
Playing a role of almost Bergmanesque intensity ... Bisset is both convincing and radiant.
11/21/02
Top CriticIts rhythms and currents sink into a viewer's consciousness and linger in the mind.
06/14/02
Top CriticIt has a subtle way of getting under your skin and sticking with you long after it's over.
10/17/02
Munch's screenplay is tenderly observant of his characters. He watches them as they float within the seas of their personalities. His scenes are short and often unexpected.
11/22/02
Top CriticLaconic and very stilted in its dialogue, this indie flick never found its audience, probably because it's extremely hard to relate to any of the characters.
04/10/02
Although sensitive to a fault, it’s often overwritten, with a surfeit of weighty revelations, flowery dialogue, and nostalgia for the past and roads not taken.
06/29/02
When the film ended, I felt tired and drained and wanted to lie on my own deathbed for a while.
06/19/02
Bisset delivers a game performance, but she is unable to save the movie.
