I Dreamed of Africa boasts the majestic landscapes and wildlife that explain why anyone would be spellbound by the place. But the story is fitfully episodic and the jerky editing doesn't help a bit. July 23, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's neither epic enough to fulfill a grand scope, nor intimate enough to be an overpowering emotional experience. July 23, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

This film, based on a true story, transcends its handsomeness to present a subtle portrait of a woman's growing consciousness. July 23, 2014 | Full Review…

In the opening segment of I Dreamed Of Africa, Kim Basinger breaks her leg. The rest of the film is so dull, you can almost hear the bone heal. July 23, 2014 | Full Review…

Basinger's performance is exceptional. She brings a raw, unselfconscious drive to the role that holds the film together, even while Hudson keeps it hopscotching across time. July 23, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Kim Basinger, as Kuki, is attractive and touching, but she's given one unplayable scene after another. July 23, 2014

I Dreamed of Africa fails on so many levels that it's hard to even give it credit for the one area in which it excels. July 23, 2014 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It's very similar in story and theme to Out Of Africa but lacks that film's grandeur and real sense of what makes the heroine love the country. July 23, 2014 | Full Review…

Given contemporary African issues, the film doesn't ring true or do anything beyond skate over a familiar and all-too melodramatic surface. July 23, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Director Hugh Hudson gives us a Kenya that is dusty, bleak and generally unappealing. Rarely has a movie about Africa aroused so few feelings of escapism. July 23, 2014 | Full Review…
