Review of Chasing Sleep

Chasing Sleep (2000)
6/10
The fun's in the ride...not the destination.
30 October 2001
"Chasing Sleep" is a disjointed, dark, off kilter claustrophobic narrative about the mental and emotional deterioration of an insomniac whose wife is suspiciously among the missing. The film, which asks more questions than it answers, is assembled like a jig-saw puzzle with many bizarre pieces which don't seem to fit. The puzzle is never completed making for a creepy ride with an unsatisfying destination. For those who can go with it, the film will be an unnerving and disturbing Daniels tour-de-force. Those who can't make the buy-in will wonder why Daniels doesn't just call Roto-Rooter.
