Review of In Dreams (2013) by Daniel P — 23 May 2009
Wow, this is bad. Ok, I quite liked the production design, and especially liked the opening underwater sequence and the scene where Bening drives her car off the cliff near the beginning. But this is all flashy style over any kind of substance.
Restless, chaotic, nonsensical and horribly plot driven, In Dreams features a toe-curlingly awful performance from the usually great Annette Bening and an eye-rolling, OTT act from Robert Downey Jr. I can't believe Neil Jordan made this film, it's utterly risible but too dull to be enjoyable, and doesn't even have internal logic.
If you fell in love with the equally flashy The Cell then you'll probably appreciate this, too. I'm angry I wasted my time with this rubbish.
