I Cant Sleep is a film that grows in the mind. On initial viewing, the film may seem disjointed, disconnected, haphazard. But with repeated, careful attention, Denis project becomes, if not exactly clear, then fuzzy-with-a-purpose.

...to be honest, this Claire Denis feature is a bit of a slog...

Directed by Claire Denis with so much tact and circumspection that the story runs short of dramatic and emotional power.

Denis is so good at quietly capturing small, slow rhythms and fuzzy, dreamy moments that I Can't Sleep almost succeeds all on its own.
