This poetic and tender portrait of a Welsh village is a slow moving yet elegantly accomplished British documentary.

"Sleep Furiously" is a lovely film, but maddeningly complacent. Aug 11, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Ultimately, the first impression given - of a place both familiar and strange - is the only impression offered. It's not enough. Jul 29, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Gideon Koppel's free-form portrait of a Welsh farming community may be the most subtly poetic piece of cine-anthropology to come down the pike in eons. Jul 27, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Sleep Furiously may be the most beautifully elemental documentary film to have emerged in Britain in over a decade and I can't applaud it loudly enough. May 29, 2009 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It is dull, spectacularly dull but it is also peculiarly compelling, affecting, atmospheric and sublime. It's like a poem which, on the surface, may not look up to much but can still instantly evoke and, dear readers, let me tell you this: I was evoked. Aug 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Now more than ever we need films such as this: grave, measured, subtly comic and beautifully wrought, free of polemic and yet offering a new way of seeing that is as old as Arcady. Jul 6, 2018 | Full Review…

Sleep Furiously returns again and again to this idea of transition: seasons change, cows go out to pasture and come in for milking, piglets are born, lambs follow their mothers as dogs herd them. Farming traditions are dynamic. Sep 8, 2011 | Full Review…

A paean to a way of life that, regardless of Dylan Thomas' furious injunction, is going gently into that good night. Jul 29, 2011 | Full Review…
