Dennis Schwartz

The Cinematheque Ontario's international panel voted it the best film of the 1990s, which can only lead me to question what they were smoking at the time.

Ken Fox

Any summary of Spanish director Victor Erice's captivating documentary would sound more like a warning than the enthusiastic recommendation it merits.

4.5/5

Janet Maslin

In its own minimalist way it becomes a thoughtful, delicate inquiry into the essence of the artistic process, and a tribute to the beauty and mutability of nature. Mr. Erice's film is much bigger than it may appear to be.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

A beguiling Spanish film about the creative process and the transitoriness of the natural world.

Christopher Null

Whether it's a documentary or not, the sheer dumbness of the way this movie was put together is alone enough to drag it down.

More analytical than contemplative, never less than straightforward, Dream of Light makes no showy bid for the sublime.

Sean Axmaker

The very act of creation speaks for itself in this amazing portrait of middle-age Spanish artist Antonio Lopez.
