Sleepworking

About This Movie

Sleepworking is a curious little film that delves into the murky waters of sleep and labor. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost claustrophobic, as we follow this young woman navigating her dual existence. The pacing has a dreamlike quality, at times dragging, but it serves to really immerse you in her unsettling experience. The themes of autonomy and exploitation are woven throughout, making you question the morality of this advanced technology. There are some practical effects that, while not groundbreaking, contribute to that eerie vibe. The performances, particularly of the lead, ground the odd premise in a sense of reality, which is what makes the whole experience feel even more disturbing.
