4/10
Ironically sleep inducing

AHA SLEEP... we meet again. You can't stop me from studying and watching this time.

A new movie dropped on Netflix. A random event happened, and for no reason no one can sleep, except a young kid. Now her mother had to choose to save her or sacrifice her for research.

Let me get the good out of the way. Gina Rodriguez was good in this movie as she played the mother who tried to protect her kid while slowly losing her mind.

It's funny how ironic this movie was: the characters cannot sleep, but the movie itself was putting me to sleep! The beginning when the event started was not bad. However, as the movie went on, it became so slow and boring. It felt like nothing happened in this movie. The director tried for some cool angles and effects, but those didn't help making the story any better.

The premise was actually interesting and unique, but the script went for a generic thriller with nothing special to offer. However, the movie was unintentionally hilarious at a point. One character saw a dropped pine cone and thought it was a grenade.

The last act was a bit chaotic with some violence because people started to lose their marbles. Even though it was slightly entertaining, it could not save this movie.

Overall, an ironically boring and sleep-inducing movie that I will forget. 4/10

Oh wait what did I just watch? Ah, gotta catch some sleep.
