State Like Sleep
It is a puzzling puzzle through that story that speaks of a world of suspense and excitement. The story begins with a mystery one year after the death of her husband, Michael Howesman, where a small widow (Catherine Waterstone) receives a phone call that changed everything. The small widow is now on the brink of a pit and may be living an unstable life that forces her to reconsider the past in a holistic way.

This consistently surprising film slinks along with melancholic dreaminess, matching the fugue state that plagues its grief-stricken protagonist.
