Insomnia is not so much about the murder mystery as it is about Will's internal struggle with what's right and what's possibly okay.
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

In the world of Christopher Nolan, memory is still as treacherous as nitroglycerin.
John Powers, L.A. Weekly

The film represents a triumph of atmosphere over a none-too-mysterious mystery. Which is to say that Nolan makes you feel the end-of-the-earth bleakness of his setting, makes you feel the way it can discombobulate people once they internalize it.
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

With a run-of-the-mill bad-guy actor playing chief suspect Walter Finch, the movie might have tipped too far Pacino's way. But Robin Williams is a shockingly effective counterweight.
