Live a new and powerful adventure through a strange and puzzling mystery. This story tells about a widow who is going through very unstable conditions. The story of that widow began a year after her husband's death, and that small widow (Catherine Waterstone) received an unstable telephone call forcing her to reconsider the past.
Led by Katherine Waterston and Michael Shannon's performances, writer-director Meredith Danluck takes a fascinating approach to grieving by way of State Like Sleep.
Danluck has great style as a filmmaker that harkens back to the best noir thrillers of yesteryear; she just needs to write a script with the substance to match.
A narcotized neo-noir that unfolds with the diverting purposelessness of a forgettable dream, Meredith Danluck's State Like Sleep doesn't really go anywhere.
