Review of I Dream Too Much (2016) by Mariko T — 15 Dec 2016
Beautiful exteriors, good soundtrack, vocals (Danielle Brooks) and Diane Ladd make this movie worth the watch. It is slow moving, with a predictable path and an abrupt ending which is why I have rated the movie with 3 not 4 stars.
Millennial ennui (what to do after college graduation) is not a riveting topic for a movie, which is why I wish Diane Ladd had been given more screen time. The best dialogue has been given to Diane Ladd or maybe it is her ability to make ordinary words shimmer.
The other characters are somewhat sketched out, but not unlikeable. I can see this movie more effective as a stage play. However, watch it for Diane Ladd and you will not feel that your time has been wasted.
