Entertainment Reviews:
...A boldly resonant thriller....Buoyed by [Schrader's] questing spirit and Dafoe's mesmerizing performance, LIGHT SLEEPER might just keep you up for nights...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
With his deliberate speech patterns and haunted, reptilian good looks, Dafoe is an almost nobly sad presence at the center of the film. There's something wonderfully calm about his performance, and it holds Light Sleeper together.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Rating: 3/4 --
For all of Schrader's capacity for spectacular self-laceration and spiritual agony, Light Sleeper finds him able for the first time to express a certain peacefulness, and the effect is delicate and discreet.

Chicago Tribune
Rating: 2/4 --
Too often, however, the movie is undone by mood-spoiling flaws, among them a gratingly bad rock song that keeps popping up.

Philadelphia Daily News
It`s a pretty good little movie, not so insignificantly for the performance of Willem Dafoe as the drug delivery man with a desire for a different life.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The movie is smart and sassy and alluring. It's like a gifted impressionist updating his material with wit and brio and respect.

...LIGHT SLEEPER is a lithe, lovely existential thriller...
Film Comment
Product Description:
John LeTour (Willem Dafoe) is loyal, decent, lumbering--a 40-year-old drug runner who suffers from insomnia but seems to be sleep-walking through life in LIGHT SLEEPER. When John's boss, the bubbly but sharp-witted Ann (Susan Sarandon), decides to retire, John must rethinks his life's path. But breaking out of the life he's led will take some doing, especially after coming into contact with his ex-girlfriend (Dana Delany), a recovering drug addict, and becoming embroiled in a mysterious murder. This gently haunting drama is all the more interesting because of the wonderful performances of the actors, the film's steady, relaxed pace, and the careful way all the colors of each character are drawn out.
