Summary: "In dreams I walk with you"...
Review: Somehow I feel that if this film had been even stranger, it may have been more critically popular. Had it not bothered with as linear a storyline and just followed the dream-logic plotlines it may have been hailed as a David Lynch-like fairy tale nightmare; add more violence and it could be a Dario Argento film. But instead we have something by Neil Jordan, who gives this film more wonder and magic (albeit dark) than anyone else could. I think it's a great film. See, it's called In Dreams, not In Logic. Its surreality is its strength, staying visually spectacular at all times and boosted by an absolutely great performance by Annette Bening. I think the plot contrivances are almost subversive; OF COURSE there are moments of coincidence because that's what happens in dreams. Moments of opportunity or clarity (claire-ity?) arrive for our heroine and she takes them in stride. The film's general feel is continuously reinforced by the eerie flooded dream village in the reservoir, and the fairy tale orchard. This is a Grim tale alright, but its beautiful, trippy and saturated in atmosphere. Killer ending too, closing a disturbingly satisfying thriller by a masterful director. Highly recommended for those who like to dream.

Summary: a lost story
Review: The most intriguing character in this entire movie was Vivian Thompson. Robert Downey Jr. plays the role so fantastically. He's twisted and frightening in a sexy way. It's very interesting.

Summary: patience is a virtue: if you have it watch this film
Review: This film is yet another overlooked Hollywood gem. Robert Downey proves he is a talented actor, and Annette does wonders with her role as well.The pacing of the film is slow, so be warned. If you can deal with that you won't be disapointed with this film. I believe this film is one of the best thrillers Hollywood has made. The fact that there are people who didn't like this film amazes me. Have patience? Like suspense and surreal filmmaking? Rent this film!
