I can understand why people wouldn't like this film, considering a complex concept is neutered by poor execution and great actors give in to overacting more than once. Still, this film is hypnotic and dreamlike, many of the shots are pure art. If you appreciate masterful ambiance, this film has it, just don't expect to be rapt by the story.

Frustrating initially as Bening's character virtually makes every dumb bad movie choice (i.e. "...don't go outside/upstairs/downstairs ALONE!") a character can make, the work eventually settles into a double horror piece with strange and moody locales and Downey's enjoyable Lector pastiche.

Wow, this is bad. Ok, I quite liked the production design, and especially liked the opening underwater sequence and the scene where Bening drives her car off the cliff near the beginning. But this is all flashy style over any kind of substance. Restless, chaotic, nonsensical and horribly plot driven, <i>In Dreams</i> features a toe-curlingly awful performance from the usually great Annette Bening and an eye-rolling, OTT act from Robert Downey Jr. I can't believe Neil Jordan made this film, it's utterly risible but too dull to be enjoyable, and doesn't even have internal logic. If you fell in love with the equally flashy <i>The Cell</i> then you'll probably appreciate this, too. I'm angry I wasted my time with this rubbish.

Not a bad effort at all really - Annette Benning was convincing and Robert Downey Jnr was entertaining, he did what he could with the character...... The plotline is a bit far fetched but if you overlook that or go with it this is an enjoyable psychological thriller
