Lucid

Dreams are real and not real at the same time. This movie has clearly been written and directed is such a way that it just hits the nail on the head and teases out that element of doubt that can plague any of us about how we distinguish fantasy from reality. It reminded me of the moments following waking from a nightmare where a process of checking following - then followed by a sense of relief that the things that really threaten and have emerged from the unconscious can be safely put to rest. However, there is so safely put to rest scenario with this. Those seconds extend to run through the length of the movie and this is what makes it really scary. The story was unpredictable and it was easy to empathise with the girl character menaces by her dreams. This, combined to adept directing and good production values make this a movie worth watching. Be warned though, sleep after it may not be too of an attractive prospect.
