“Sleepless Beauty” (*1/2 out of four) was a lackluster snooze about a young woman (Polina Davydova) who is kidnapped by a mysterious organization called Recreation; they then speak to her through a loudspeaker and start to take over her mind and she soon realizes she is being used as a twisted and tormenting psychological experiment. Much of film has no dialogue, only mood and music, and film soon sputters to a halt. Davydova is good under the circumstances but is unable to enrich or enliven this unpleasant material.
