Review of The Dreamlife of Angels (1998) by Susan L — 29 Dec 2008

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. In general I found it to be a very realistic portrait of dysfunctional relationships. Charly was my favorite character. I just wanted Marie to wake up and see that she had a perfectly nice boyfriend who obviously cared for her but of course that doesn't happen.

I also liked how Charly and Chriss' roles were reversed from what you might expect but without being so cliche about it. I didn't like the jumping scene though. I felt there was no lead up to it from Marie's POV even though we'd been getting it earlier in the movie.

Very nice though. I am interested in seeing more movies from the cast and director.
