Wide Awake

By Alan Berliner

I am not familiar with Mr. Berliner's other movies, yet, but I went and saw this one as part of the San Francisco International Film Festival after Jesse said he wanted to see it. He enjoyed it. I thought it was OK. The main complaint I had was that Mr. Berliner didn't seem to explore what seemed to be some serious issues he was having, mostly some sort of compulsion disorder.

I enjoyed it and say rent it, especially if you have a hard time sleeping. I realized that it is hard to relate to this kind of movie if you are like me and fall asleep 5 minutes after hitting the pillow on an average night.
