Review of Sweet Dreams (1985) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 31 Oct 2006
Director Karel Reisz (The French Lieutenant's Woman) clearly doesn't trust the American audience's ability to handle mixed, emotionally complex tones (and by all the available evidence he's right not to), yet by segregating the feelings he wants to express he makes them seem artificial and programmatic.
But the performances do have a redeeming vividness.
