Linda P I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started the film but WOW...it was not what I expected. For an indie film it's a surreal psychological thriller that blows your mind, not only for story, cinematography, vfx and music but because it's not a studio film. Well worth watching if this is a genre you enjoy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/20 Full Review Audience Member If you ever had a fascinating dream that doesn't seem to really make sense after you wake up and then you keep thinking about it the whole day trying to understand it because it had some moments in it that you really feel should mean something to you.......then this is the on-screen representation of it. Bits and pieces, here and there, seem to gravitate towards one central point that doesn't want to stay in one place. It keeps moving until you stop applying your logic to it. I loved it. After a long and chaotic search among some big budget films on Netflix & Co that made me abandon those films after only 5 or 10 minutes, The "Call for Dreams" was like a fresh air to my desperate brain. So worth watching. Congrats to the whole team. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member More than a movie, watching call for dreams was a lot like being hypnotized by a beautiful, abstract painting in some museum. It's a truely poetic way to tell a story. And what a great visual style! Each shot is well thought out and lit. The dp did one hell of a job! There is a Blade Runner dreamy look that works perfectly with the story, and I also thought of Nicolas Winding Refn, especially Only God Forgives! But it definitely has its own touch. A work of art! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Call For Dreams is why movies are a unique medium in which editing and cinematography tell the story. Ran Slavin blends reality and dreams under the perfect setting of Tokyo Blade Runner-esk cityscapes and vivid, perfectly composed interiors. Call For Dreams belongs more in a modern Criterion Channel with its meaningful visual text, compelling sound design, sly humor, and innovative storytelling. It's a movie best seen in a theater and not at home, but until that day we must settle for our televisions and small screens. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review william w Was not sure what to expect. But this movie delivered a wonderfully contemporary visual feast of film and story. As a viewer you are left wondering what is a dream and what is reality. It is a sensual bombardment. It is a visual feast that leaves you guessing what is coming next. Some of the scenes are award winning masterpieces. Worth a watch if you want something different. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the way this film looked. It was beautifully shot and well lit. Without diving too much into the actual story, it is definitely a bit less traditional than most but I really enjoyed it. I am not sure if everyone would enjoy the film but I definitely think it is worth checking out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
