Maybe Charlize Theron is onto something. Whenever this glamorous South African blonde goes ugly to play American salt-of-the-earth types, the Academy bestows a nomination (2005’s “North Country”) or an award (2003’s “Monster”) on her. As the producer and co-star of the Sundance Film Festival entry “Sleepwalking,” Ms. Theron has chosen to cast herself in another role straight out of a country-western song. But what at first glance might seem like mere mining for more Oscar gold is perhaps something deeper, as the film echoes a family tragedy from the actress-producer’s own past.
