Leave your thoughts about Sleepless Nights Stories.
| The New York TimesManohla DargisMr. Mekas makes little attempt to smooth out his transitions between takes or scenes, which only reinforces the intensely personal, even handmade nature of the work. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberA freeform, New York-based variation on the Arabian Nights tales by Jonas Mekas is both a pan-narrative and a disarming portrait of its sweetly curious maker. |
| Time OutEric HynesThe movie indulges a few too many whims, but it's never less than alive. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonMore often, Mekas's focus on "names" comes off as a cloistered insensitivity to the wider world. |
| Tiny Mix TapesDerek SmithSleepless Nights Stories merely lingers on the personal, and the mundanity that was so magical in one film is now rendered just plain ordinary and dull. |
| MUBIJesse CataldoIt proves that Mekas is still very much awake, contemplating the broad gulfs of the past and future, the little life that, as Shakespeare put it, "is rounded with a sleep." |
