"Alex Rivera's Sleep Dealer is ambitious, while other movies might focus on Harrison Ford's or Tom Cruise's problems, Rivera is far more interested in the struggles of Mexico's migrant workers."
- John Horn, Los Angeles Times

"Sleep Dealer is sure to become a cult classic and rightfully so. There are so many interesting political messages that are debated with subtlety and care, which is why this story transcends most modern sci-fi films."

- Peter Sciretta, Films.com

"True originality and artistic verve ... Sleep Dealer is a film with lofty dramatic aspirations, an ambitious visual palette and a folksy heart. Alex Rivera and David Riker have come up with something unique and engaging. Rivera�s artistic bravery is impressiv... it's a fantastic journey."

� Steve Ramos, IndieWire.com

"Sleep Dealer is certainly an exception to the established 'rule' and is worth seeing for its originality and ingenuity alone."

- Ross Miller, Blog Critics Magazine

"Alex Rivera makes an impressive, eye-opening debut. Sleep Dealer is remarkable. It's the rare political film without any reference to contemporary politics, like Blade Runner and other big-brained sci-fi flic... it's instead about ideas."

- Jason Silverman, Wired.com

"It's a marvel of sorts that a film this ambitious was produced on such a modest budget, let alone with the visual panache and highly respectable special effects that Rivera brings to it. A zealous following will also develop among sci-fi and genre nerds and it will be a staple on this year's fantasy festival circuit."
