... Becomes interminable and you just wish it would end already.

This is a slow born that never picks up at any point. It's just watching an actress with essentially one facial expression - none - with her mouth hanging open.

She's a partial runaway, but we don't know why. We see who is be her mom as she enters her bedroom a few times to take things and take showers.

She attends high school a couple of times and sleeps in a park (not sure why the authorities in her school haven't been notified she is a runaway and turn hey over to her mom). Later we learn, she's 18 yo. Maybe she goes to class for the free lunch. Who knows. Who cares. We certainly don't.

Anyway, she has nightmares of some dark figure, who never features prominently in the movie although you'll think it does.

Never exists outside of the dream or materializes and in the end is meaningless, although shown over and over again as though this figure features prominently in mankind's dream. Nope it don't.

She enters a sleep study so she has a place to squat at night then on the park slide. She never tells them about her nightmares. They soon learn about them anyway, because, they've figured out a way to visualize people's dreams - to what practical purpose we never really know. Is it to cure us of nightmares? Who cares?

Anyway it gets a little creepy and you think the people there want to harm her. Nope.

One of the nerds likes her and eventually beds her. She has a bleeding eye after one nightmare, but we really never learn why.

Apparently or signifies absolutely nothing. It's just.. there.

So then we finally after yet a long period that ends into nothing. We come to the end and we find out that...dun dun dun.... That she's a vampire? A coma patient?

Hell of we know.

The End.

That's it folks!

Was going to give this a six for keeping me in some sort of suspense or at least wanting to know what's going on but the ending drops it down to three stars.
