Review of In Their Sleep

10/10
A Thriller with Anne Parillaud- WMCYAF?
23 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
i saw this on IFC on demand over my brother's house, and he had made the mistake of watching the preview they have for all of their films. i didn't watch the preview for it so it didn't ruin the film for me, but he said it gave away too much and ruined the mystery element for him, so don't watch the preview. It was a good thriller, not ground-breaking, but it surprised me, and that's what thrillers are supposed to do. AP is starting to age, and she is featured w/out make-up in most scenes, except for the beginning, to reflect her horrible state of mind. She does have a "wasted" look about her without make-up, and there's a good reason why they chose her for "Dead Girl" about ten years ago. *****Spoiler****

At the end of the film, she is out of it that it's almost an act of mercy when the other main character slits her throat. So if you're looking for a good thriller with plenty of AP in extremis, this one's for you.
