Product Description:
JOLEEN REEDY IS A DISILLUSIONED SINGLE MOTHER PRONE TO BAD MEN & RECKLESS BEHAVIOR. HER YOUNGER BROTHER JAMES IS AN UNDERACHIEVER WHO CAN'T HOLD A JOB. WHEN JOLEEN ABANDONS HER 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH JAMES, UNCLE & NIECE MAKE A FATEFUL DECISION TO FLEE TO THE FARM OF JAMES & JOLEEN'S ABUSIVE FATHER.
Amazon.com:
A dark and troubling fable leavened by streaks of hope and redemption, Sleepwalking follows Tara Reedy (AnnaSophia Robb, Because of Winn-Dixie) and her young uncle James (Nick Stahl, Carnivale) after Tara's mother Joleen (Charlize Theron) abandons them. After James loses his job and Tara suffers through the foster-care system, the two set off on a road trip that leads to a heart of darkness: The farm where James and Joleen grew up, where their father (Dennis Hopper) still lives. The bleaker side of Sleepwalking is redeemed not so much by the affection that grows between James and Tara (which feels a bit forced and precious) as by the emotional commitment of the cast. Stahl turns in what may be his best performance yet, delving into the weak and aimless qualities of James yet keeping an active presence in the movie. Robb and Theron, two emotionally compelling actors well-cast as mother and daughter, turn in high-quality performances; Hopper creates another portrait of chilling brutality, all the more terrifying for being so ordinary. The rest of the solid cast includes Woody Harrelson, Matthew St. Patrick (Six Feet Under), and Deborra-Lee Furness (Shame) as a coworker sympathetic to James. --Bret Fetzer

I completely dig this flick. It was emotionally exhausting but real. This is the side to life that most are lucky enough not to have to live with or see. In the days now of feel good movies and happy endings, this really cut to the chase that not every movie is given a happy ending. For the end of this movie, I wasn't real thrilled with where it ended off with either as some have so eloquently mentioned, however the meat of the story was just outstanding to me. I loved it so much I bought it. I think ... Read More

"Sleepwalking" starts off a bit like "Frozen River," focused on a single mother struggling to make ends meet in rural America (though it was actually filmed in Saskatchewan). But the movie quickly veers off in another direction, shifting that focus onto her 13-year-old daughter, Tara, and her younger brother, James (the girl's uncle), who are suddenly forced to rely on one another for comfort and support when Joleen temporarily bows out of the picture.

I really enjoy this movie although the pace is slow. I like Tara and James very much. James is really good in the movies(although he is stupid when he is confront his dad!). It broke my heart when I saw Tara was beaten by her grandfather.
Overall the film is really good and I would rate 5 stars originally. But the scene that Tara smoke is not comfortable to me. How come the film director made the young actress(only 12 years old!) to smoke? And I don't think this scene is really important to the film. ... Read More

Perhaps the intensity of this film was easier to take on the small screen than it was in the theater. I thought it was well acted and flowed well from beginning to end. The characters moved both geographically and developmentally which helped to keep my interest. The ending was bizare, but believable given the twisted upbringing of the brother; a mixture of good and bad. The heart is a place which is large enough to house a fearful mixture of both pure love and pure hate, and who can say which will have supremisy ... Read More

Joleen (Charlize Theron) is a woman with a nasty mouth who seems to want to make good choices, but because she's hanging onto past hurts, she makes one bad choice after the next. It's obvious that she loves her daughter, but since she's so lost she just doesn't know how to be a good mother. Her brother James (Nick Stahl) is a sweetheart - a cool, calm, collected, good-hearted man who just can't seem to get his life together. Tara (AnnaSophia Robb) is stuck between her Mom and Uncle James. She's an unhappy little lady ... Read More
