"In this hypnotic film, dance is used as a diaphanous storytelling tool, in which the dreamy narrative is at the service of the choreography; movement wafts through it."
— TimeOut

“It’s a truly unique aesthetic experience. Editing, cinematography and music merge with dance to create a fully realized universe, filled with equal doses of longing, unease and wonder.”
— Short Of the Week

"A professional dancer explores the idea of film as dream."
— Interview at Berlinale on Sleepover LA

"A must-see film is SLEEPOVER LA—a wild, dark, and engaging film that nods to LA culture, but it’s the film’s unique storytelling aesthetic that really sets it apart."
— LA Confidential
