Dreams Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's something altogether new for Kurosawa, a collection of short, sometimes fragmentary films that are less like dreams than fairy tales of past, present and future. The magical and mysterious are mixed with the practical, funny and polemical.
Sin Magazine
Austin Kennedy
I wish I could say that every segment is fantastic, but just like so many other "short story films", it's a mixed bag.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Beautiful to look at but a rather empty fantasy film.
The New Yorker
Terrence Rafferty
There's greatness in the film's first hour.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
In the uneven career of Akira Kurosawa, two limiting factors were sentimentality and preachiness, and both come to the fore in this 1990 collection of eight dreams.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It is a satisfying summation of a well-spent career.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Dreams will knock your eyes out without ignoring the mind and heart.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
It's dreamy only in one respect: It's a snooze.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A magnificent, immensely absorbing experience.
Apollo Guide
Derek Smith
Worth seeing if you are a fan of the director, but for anyone else I'd suggest first seeking out his more famous films of the 1950s and '60s.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Visually stunning, but dramatically pretty lacking.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Forrest Hartman
Each [of the eight shorts] is beautifully photographed, and as eye candy alone, they are phenomenal. Unfortunately, several are sluggishly paced.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Perhaps the biggest and most painful vanity project ever put to film.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...brief, moral tales emphasizing visual splendor, imagery, and imagination over conventional characterization and narrative.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Kurosawa is content to offer a series of fractured musings.
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
Bill DuPre
The technique... allows the images to rattle through the viewer's mind like a transcendent line of poetry; these images are so intense and stay on the screen for such a time that the viewer's interpretation of them becomes introspective and personal.
TV Guide
his is clearly the work of a master filmmaker, even if his Dreams are as unpredictable and uneven as our own.
