What Dreams May Come

“So breathtaking, so beautiful, so bold in its imagination, that it's a surprise at the end to find it doesn't finally deliver.”

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 88

“What Dreams May Come has the sensibilities of an art film placed into a big-budget feature with an A-list cast.”

James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75

“Despite its numerous missteps and miscalculations, What Dreams May Come is often a powerful, affecting piece of filmmaking.”

Nathan Rabin, The A.V. Club · 70

“Too bad. What dreams may come, indeed, when such enticing foreplay ends with a consummation devoutly to be missed.”

Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 63

“What Dreams May Come, based on a novel by Richard Matheson and directed by Vincent Ward, the New Zealand filmmaker noted for his skill at creating lavish cinematic dreamscapes, represents the uncomfortable collision of two ideas about filmmaking, one commercial, the other eccentrically, ambitiously dreamy.”

Stephen Holden, The New York Times · 60
