Let's Dream

The movie is really boring and even the actors and actresses performers make you want to snore. The dialogue is extremely slow. It is like watching a movie is slow motion. The plot makes no sense. You wouldn't even know what is going on it this movie. The setting is bad. The actor who plays the photographer looks like he is lost and doesn't even know he is actually in a movie. This movie is guaranteed to put you to sleep. If you are someone who gets angry and start throwing things when a move is unbearable then do not watch this and save yourself.

I like a slow burn. I enjoy an artsy film (including odd facial expressions that don't change throughout the movie). I like thinking about films that are out of the norm, etc.

However, I couldn't hear anything with the way the sound was engineered (similar to Tenet). I'm an older person (in my 50s) without dog level hearing so I missed much of the whispered dialogue throughout this film.

It was interesting enough that I didn't turn it off, but not being able to hear it was a real downside.

Other than that, I won't say it grabbed me immediately, but there was a point where it grabbed my interest. I also don't think the photography was wonderful, like some of the other positive reviewers said, but it wasn't that bad either. It's just not something that stood out.

Oh boy, if you're looking for suspense, or entertainment you should go elsewhere, anyplace elsewhere. The acting is downright grade school. They all just act like they are zombies with ABSOLUTELY no emotion or voice inflection. The main character Let moves through the movie with his mouth wide open with eyes darting from side to side as if to wonder where he is. Oh wait, that's the premise of this disaster. Shame on Prime for adding it to their lineup. If you rated this train wreck higher than a 2 you may either be the writer, Director, one of the actors or the actors moms.

You'll certainly find it a more productive use of your time than watching this film and helpfully the movie does its best to put you to sleep in the first 5 minutes. The lead actor is possessed of the most boring and monotonous voice I have ever heard. Insomniacs would find him a real boon. Others though should avoid the film. You'll have far more fun at the dentist.

Please ignore one sentence 'reviews' on here written by those who lack the sympathetic comprehension to either understand or appreciate what's not been produced by the run of the mill, industrial cookie cutter film machine.

They're upset they've encountered a challenging film defeating their capacity to understand and, through the ignorance of their attack stance, prove themselves among those who fear the unique and original such as you too will find yourself experiencing if you open your mind and join with the maker of this film who admonishes us all in the directive, Let's Dream.

Among 2020s crop of unrewarding, usual, cliched, jump scare and gore strewn attempts to revitalise various supernatural genres, all of them done to proverbial death in past decades, Let's Dream leaps out from the cinematic field as an homage to imaginative originality, sublime performances, concise, evocative, poetic, whimsical dialogue and as a prime example what greatness may be achieved when determined passion combines with talent and artful skill to create, (from an obvious low budget base), the riches of a cinematic marvel, bound to become a cult classic for its atmospheric oddities, ethereal evocations and fascinatingly entertaining content.

Let's Dream stands out as an example expounding what may be achieved through the power of an original imaginative idea when combined with artfully considered photographic and location choices and skillfully directed acting, thus invoking a sense of otherworldly atmosphere necessary to convey the viewer's imagination to a place of synergy with great success.

Unusually, in a film filled with much tension and intrigue, it manages to achieve these elements of the thriller, blisteringly, by utilising a most unexpected and disarming technique, that is, by employing not fast cut but instead a meandering pace to its unpredictable, mysterious and intriguing narrative, one that ebbs and flows like a REM sleep vision or the quiet meditation of a daydream, albeit one saw toothed with jagged edges, indicating all is not well with the assurance of a phantom moon.

At one end of the narrative spectrum this film serves as a timely reminder of the importance of getting our act together and mitigating the negative effects of climate change before our entire history as a global culture winds up as an archaeologically retrieved series of files on a thumb drive collected by an alien race whilst passing by and stopping in at, what was once known as an inhabited, livable planet, and at the other, it may be interpreted as a reflection of the inner narrative of the consciousness within the individual as a part of, and apart from, the journey we're all upon (like it or not) as a society, moving toward a comprehension of self awareness within the universe as a whole.

Time does not permit an exhaustive litany of interpretations, but Let's Dream has an abundance to offer, such as its title suggests. This review would be incomplete without mentioning the triple threat that is Let's Dream's lead actor, director and writer, an artist emanating charismatic star quality boundlessly and bound, no doubt, to be recorded within the pantheon of movie making history as one its true greats-a legitimate classic 'movie star' of the highest caliber and of the most venerable, old Hollywood style order.
