Sleepwalker

No LGBTQ+ characters appear or are identified. The narrative revolves around a heterosexual marriage and its violent aftermath, leaving queer identities entirely absent from the story.

A woman anchors the film as she navigates grief and psychological collapse. Her abusive husband is reduced to a comatose figure, shifting power away from him while centering her trauma.

The top-billed cast is predominantly white. Two Asian American actors appear in supporting medical roles, but they lack narrative depth or meaningful screen time.

Traditional family structures are framed as sources of trauma rather than safety. The husband’s abuse and the mother’s isolation critique the stability of the nuclear family.

A husband’s coma and the wife’s sleepwalking drive the horror. These conditions are central plot devices but are not portrayed with nuanced realism or dignity.
