Reviews for The Dreamlife of Angels
Frank, intimate, touching, with an emotional immediacy that is killing.
It's so graceful and intelligent and complicated in its depiction of human interaction that it takes the notion of a remarkably assured directorial debut to a new level.
Heralds a humanist cinema that neither shortchanges our minds nor cheapens what's in our hearts.
We aren't just watching Isa and Marie endure the tiny triumphs and hardships of their lives; we're experiencing those ups and downs alongside them.
In an American indie, the two girls would be cute slackers; in Dreamlife, they're imbued with the inchoate sadness of feminine existential loneliness.
There's not a single encounter in The Dreamlife of Angels that isn't vivid and emotionally full.
The movie understands what few American movies admit: Not everyone can afford the luxury of following their hearts.
