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.

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.

"Sleep Furiously" is a lovely film, but maddeningly complacent.

Ultimately, the first impression given - of a place both familiar and strange - is the only impression offered. It's not enough.

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.

Dec 21, 2009Lyrical , poetic, impressionistic picture of rural Welsh life which oozes warm emotion from every frame. Ode to a way of life that is disappearing day by day. That feeling of sad nostalgia never overwhelms the director, though and he has crafted a thing of beauty.Gordon A Super Reviewer
