The Sleeping Negro Ratings & Reviews
In Review Online
Zachary Goldkind
It all plays out with a fumbling intentionality, where the disunity of the aesthetic whole very perfectly reflects the schism of our character and, assuming that our protagonist acts as an analogue to its performer, our director himself.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Myers' film doesn't shy away from addressing challenging subject matter, chipping away at the ridiculous claim that "race" doesn't matter in contemporary America.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Less a conventional narrative than a series of point-illustrating arguments and setpieces, it's like an indie Falling Down with a sensibility that modernizes the self-examining monologue of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Myers' brisk film is more monologue than movie, but undeniably essential in jolting everyone out of the collective complacency induced by the false perception of progress for all in this country.
Slant Magazine
Mark Hanson
Though often abstract in its imagery, the film's blistering commentary remains firmly rooted in our present reality.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Myers suggests we are all corruptible by a white man in a high tower but ends with a slightly more human slant and a reminder that all actions come with consequences.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Skinner Myers effectively presents the issues so that the collective, global "we" must stop, ask questions, and wrestle with a very complicated problem.
