Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. MrSneakyMan — ★★★★
   “This isn’t really a horror movie. This is a dark, magical realist fable in the skin of a horror movie. Taken on those terms it works fantastically well.”

2. universzero — ★★★½
   “Before I Wake is a film for people who need to grieve their childhood losses but who would rather be scared. And it’s beautiful.”

3. Gio — ★★★½
   “The same thing happens to me when I take melatonin to go to sleep.”

4. josh — ★★★½
   “This review may contain spoilers… it really is a shame this movie has been delayed over five times, and it still hasn’t been released yet.”

5. Marianna Neal — ★★★
   “The thing about this movie is that the story is actually really good, and pretty damn sad.”
