Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Sleep Dealer is flawed, but still vibrant and inventive. Whether he finds larger budgets or keeps doing movie like this, Rivera is definitely a filmmaker to follow.
– Peter Hartlaub,
Houston Chronicle,
19 Jun 2009
fresh:
Alex Rivera's overstuffed but intriguing feature debut, Sleep Dealer, takes a speculative leap into Tijuana's near future, imagining the next evolution of cheap labor.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
5 Jun 2009
fresh:
Clearly, Rivera knows one of the great gifts of the sci-fi genre. An uncanny world invites new ways of seeing. It offers new chances to ask the hard -- and too often, hardened -- questions.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
5 Jun 2009
fresh:
The combination of rusty amateurism, future technology, and clear-and-present politics creates a trippy time-space kick: This dusty little movie feels like yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Adventurous, ambitious and ingeniously futuristic, Sleep Dealer is a welcome surprise.
