This relentlessly sinister and melancholy film offers much to admire and to enjoy. As a reflection on the insularly individual nature everyday lives, Sleep Tight relishes our ignorance of others and revels in the moments when it shatters those socially-constructed barriers. Balaguero's direction shows beautiful control throughout, Lucas Vidal's score is fragile and haunting, and in the two contrasting lead roles, a sunny Marta Etura as the unknowing victim and Luis Tosar as the troubled building manager are immaculate. The extraordinary heartbreaking ending is both shocking and disturbingly raw, a fitting conclusion to a film that is both challenging and exquisite.
