Good premise, good design. Bad lead performance, bad... amount... of dropped plot points? That was less concise than it sounded in my head. What I'm trying to say is that for every positive _Before I Wake_ has on offer, there is an equal and opposite negative to bring it back down again.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

**Absurd situations that can't just be ignored**
Somnia features an intriguing beginning because of an interesting plot,
enjoyable locations and likable characters, then everything will start
to fall apart. There are too many nonsense moments, you will disagree
with almost all of the actions taken by our protagonists, and the
events taking place will be far from realistic.
Be aware of the genre, don't expect this movie to be much of a horror,
don't expect this movie to be much of a fantasy neither ... it's a mix
that I didn't personally enjoy. Special effects are well made at least.
Cutting it short: the main issue is the writing and the ridiculous
situations. I don't want to make any spoiler but hopefully you will
understand my concerns when I mention the words "careless people".
P.S. Jacob Tremblay, the kid, is great.
_(4 stars out of 10)_
