Dream with the Fishes Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Dave Kehr
Despite the emphasis on Oedipal conflict, the film expresses no desire to enter the grownup world; happiness here is associated with eternal adolescence, following the '70s (and now, apparently, '90s) ideal.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
Clearly, it wishes to be different, but anyone who fondly recalls the buddy films of the '70s will find it to be more of the same.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
As the film progresses, however, it begins to accumulate all sorts of unnecessary characters and subplots that only serve to weigh it down.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A throwback to the independent-minded, anything-goes movies that followed in the wake of Easy Rider in the early 1970s.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The filmmaker does keep one nifty -- we might even say quirky -- little surprise for the end.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Dream With the Fishes is a film in its own category. It's not a drama or a comedy. It's neither realistic nor surreal. It's a piece of poetry that, at times, is harsh and ugly. The film is both dark and light but somehow always true to itself.
Spokesman-Review (Washington)
Dan Webster
Dream With the Fishes is a personal kind of story told with a sensitivity that, while not exactly Oscar-worthy, does manage to touch on feelings most mainstream films don't even admit exist.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
How Dream With the Fishes works is that the road movie and buddy movie formulas slowly dissolve from around Nick and Terry, who by the end of the movie stand revealed in three dimensions.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Parts of the movie focusing on drugs and wanderlust seem like throwbacks to the '60s, but most of the story is more self-indulgent than sociological.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A quirky journey the vivid characters and situations of which will be remembered long after the rest of the film's residue has washed to the sea.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The quirky-misfits-on-the-road genre is nothing new or revolutionary, but the film possesses a naive charm that is as refreshing as it is rare.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
A harangue on how ironic it is that men often attack one another verbally and physically as a way to get close.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
[A] refreshing, unexpectedly profound comedy.
Los Angeles Times
Jack Mathews
The performances here are superb.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Finn has a fine, succinct way with such acerbic touches, and he gives Dream With the Fishes a lean and distinctive visual style.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Not a great picture -- not by a long shot -- but the many and various parts of Finn Taylor's quirky black comedy do add up to something rather appealing.
People Magazine
Leah Rozen
Nothing here is sufficiently wild.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Serena Donadoni
It isn't nearly as compelling or profound as it's meant to be.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's well acted, and the dialogue didn't insult me. But at the same time, I felt like I'd seen it all before.
