The Dreamers Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
The pleasures of "The Dreamers" stay mostly on the surface. But when the surface is as stylish and sexy as this, it's hard to complain.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
The venue for Pitt's marvelous coming-out performance.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Exhilarating.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The Dreamers is infused with the same kind of wistful melancholy that made the French New Wave films so winning, and it's all gorgeous to look at.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Swept away by the intensity of the characters' movie debates and sexual games, Bertolucci often recaptures the film-besotted spirit of the period.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Ambitious and uneven, visceral and pungent.
Observer
Rex Reed
A film about youth and passion that seems old and passionless.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Its nostalgia and narcissism are ultimately two versions of the same thing, and neither can reopen cross-cultural channels. Instead they keep this story stuck in the past, frozen and intact and irrelevant.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A rare movie made by and for adults, haunts its watcher for some time, despite its shortcomings.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
It is a well-made film in many ways, but I found in the callowness of these youths nothing to admire.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
The Dreamers makes its point with clips of old films. And yes, there is quite a bit of sex and nudity.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[A] provocative, sensual feast.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It is both a love song to escapism and a warm embrace of the real world -- a wake-up call that one place, without the other to occasionally return to, would make life for us (who are the real dreamers) far less wonderful.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Do these characters really care about the collected works of Godard? Not for one Parisian minute.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An ambitious and exciting piece of work, a movie about sex and movies made by a filmmaker who understands the power of each to set off fantasy, create addiction, incite danger and transform the spirit.
Detroit News
Tom Long
An out-of-print postcard of a movie, neither shocking or smart enough to matter in the modern world, and too disjointed to be involving.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It effectively explains why we obsess over movies and rock and roll and honest communication long after those passions have been hijacked by parodists and advertising agencies.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
A rich movie filling the viewer with a four-course French meal of sensuality, politics, ideas and character.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Above all it evokes a time when the movies -- good movies, both classic and newborn -- were at the center of youth culture.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's funny, affecting, interestingly twisted, and seriously erotic before it heads south in the final stretch.
