Sleep with Your Eyes Open poster

A fine arthouse drama. I'm aware of the relatively strong bond between Brazil and Japan, it's not as common to see an Argentine director import a Taiwanese lead to Brazil. It makes for a novel setup, though the film is a relatively basic arthouse drama, meaning the pacing is slow and the characters somewhat lethargic.

That's not a negative, thanks to the solid performances and the pretty cinematography the slow pacing is easy to stomach. The drama felt a little underwhelming though, i never fully cared about the characters and their troubles, but at least I had a pleasant time spending time with them.
