ReelViews -
Two and one- half hours of gripping entertainment.

Rolling Stone -
Sleepers, for all the doubts it raises, is the work of a man who speaks for absent friends and "for the children we were." It's his secret heart.

Time -
At some low, what's-next level, Sleepers works like, well, gangbusters. [28 October 1996, p. 113]

USA Today -
Engrosses if it doesn't fully convince. [18 October 1996, p.1D]

Chicago Sun-Times -
As entertainment, the movie functions successfully. But I don't believe the story is true--not true to the facts, and not true to the morality it pretends to be about.
