It's not enough to smother the fire of the film but it does douse Hutchinson (who plays a brainwashing victim with the empty sincerity of a
sleepwalker) and Chris Hemsworth, who
gets lost in the massive cast and busy script.
Having written the similarly disquieting «Simon Killer» with Antonio Campos and now «The
Sleepwalker» with Fastvold, one
gets the feeling that Corbet is on the verge as emerging as a unique and fascinating voice in indie cinema (and with Corbet's directorial debut, co-written by Fastvold on its way, starring Juliette Binoche, Robert Pattinson and Tim Roth, that moment appears to be right around the corner).
