Where to Watch Sleeper
Sleeper Ratings & Reviews
- nkutt28 August 2025One of the best independent slashers that I’ve seen in a long time and one of my favorites I watch on repeat
- Mister Arn18 May 2025“Sleeper” uses the future to explore tough subjects like revolutionary efforts in the face of tyranny and comedy to make it easier to digest. However, the film uses a silent comedian style for its physical comedy and gags. However, the film lacks the timing of the silent stars, and these scenes move slowly.
- Rowan Krzysiak12 February 2025A film set 200 years in the future while aping the cinema of the silent era with Woody Allen's shtick thrown in. It's uniqueness was its main draw. For me though, the music grated, the one-liners grated and the whole thing felt like it was agreed when someone was out the room. The last 20 minutes kinda worked but it wasn't enough.
