Review of Daydream Nation (2011) by Felipe O — 25 Dec 2012

Once in a while you might encounter a film that is so grossly underestimated, you can only conclude that the director is a genius and everyone else just doesn't get it.

This film was captivating from beginning to end, with endless endearing moments and philosophical truism. It is one of the most honest films I have ever seen, and one of the few films I actually feel I could take something true and real out of it; as if I could learn from this film. So when I see the rating and I see that less than half the audience likes this film, I can only conclude one thing. The writer/director is a genius who created a movie that is too smart and too real for the every day person.
