IndieWire
Despite the ongoing momentum, Sleepless Night never loses touch with its story. - 88
Slant Magazine
After a few turns in the modest narrative, an unlikely sense of structural resilience begins to emerge. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Frederic Jardin's gripping Sleepless Night maintains a consistently high pitch without growing monotonous. - 80
Variety
There's no mistaking Jardin's playful mastery of the Hollywood-style action aesthetic; his movie starts in high gear and accelerates steadily from there. - 80
Time Out
An American remake is already being prepped. We suggest Hollywood simply cries uncle now and calls it a day. - 80
Village Voice
There are hints of humor and depth early on, but about halfway through, Sleepless Night clicks into something funny and warm without sacrificing its edge. - 78
Austin Chronicle
Sisley is a former stand-up comic, although you'd never guess it here: Finding himself in the eye of a colossal shit storm of his own making, his Vincent is brusque and action oriented, his face, a picture of ulceration in progress. - 75
The A.V. Club
Given how much it's in motion, Sleepless Night doesn't have much time for character development, but Sisley is a memorable antihero whose toughness barely masks his growing desperation and exhaustion, as his bleeding knife wound serves as the film's version of a countdown clock.
