Sleepwalking

Sleepwalking (2008) is a quiet, bruising drama you can watch online on iFILM, about a child left to fend for herself among adults who can barely manage their own lives. William Maher directs Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson and Dennis Hopper.

When her boyfriend is arrested, Joleen (Theron) and her eleven-year-old daughter Tara move in with Joleen's brother James, a man hanging on by a thread. Then Joleen takes off with a trucker, child services steps in, and James does something reckless: he pulls Tara out of foster care and drives. The road runs from California to Utah and the house of an abusive father both of them once escaped. This is small, patient indie filmmaking that trusts faces and silence over plot, and it lands hardest on the strength of Stahl and young Robb. Stream Sleepwalking (2008) online on iFILM.
