Reception
Alan Ng of Film Threat rated the film a 6 out of 10 and wrote, "At the same time, Sarandon and Turturro are fantastic acting against lead McManus. But money can’t buy the indie guerrilla filmmaking charms that ooze all over Parker’s film." A review at High On Fims was very negative and stated, "Forty Winks thus becomes a visually distinct but empty and inert exercise that doesn’t know what to do with Black and White frames or the characters that serve no purpose to either its overreaching themes or its mumbling progression." A review in the Midwest Film Journal praised the production, but criticised the narration. Common Sense Media described it as a "(q)uirky, mature dramedy (that) has non-stereotypical characters."
Accolades
The film was selected for the 8 & Halfilm Awards.
