Sleeper Hit of 2018 (812 views, 4 replies)

A sleeper for me is one that I have heard nothing about (which is quite difficult nowadays) so there is no hype (good or bad). This has happened twice in 2018 and I was more than pleasantly surprised with the smile on my face come the closing titles.
The first was Unsane with my favourite actress at the moment (Claire Foy) and director (Steven Soderbergh), who has spent more time recently in the world of television.

Hey guys! Once again the weather has turned the ground all hoary and cold and I find myself unwilling to go outside. So, I'm here to bug you guys! So a sleeper movie is a title that becomes successful, gradually, often with little promotion. I always thought it was a really good movie that no one talked much about or not a lot of people knew about. Everyone knows about the blockbusters from 2018 and we've seen them. Tell me your favorite sleeper movie from 2018 (and why you like it) so that we can all have something good and new to watch.
