Reviews for The Sleepy Time Gal
To the film's credit, the acting is fresh and unselfconscious, and Munch is a marvel of reality versus sappy sentiment.

A thoughtful, moving piece that faces difficult issues with honesty and beauty.

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.

Top CriticPlaying a role of almost Bergmanesque intensity ... Bisset is both convincing and radiant.
11/21/02
Top CriticBisset still commands the screen as the graceful and outspoken Frances.
05/29/02
A melancholy, emotional film.
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
Laconic 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
It has a subtle way of getting under your skin and sticking with you long after it's over.
10/17/02
Münch's genuine insight makes the film’s occasional overindulgence forgivable.
04/10/02
Bisset delivers a game performance, but she is unable to save the movie.
05/29/02
It's delicate, haunting and sultry.
05/29/02
Top CriticA captivating and intimate study about dying and loving...
02/13/03
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
Its rhythms and currents sink into a viewer's consciousness and linger in the mind.
06/14/02
Top CriticWhen the film ended, I felt tired and drained and wanted to lie on my own deathbed for a while.
