      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Dreamland's frustratingly diffuse narrative approach is consistently offset by typically strong work from Margot Robbie in a central role.

      Jerod S Robbie is always a dream, but Dreamland seemed to fumble around in how it was told. Narrated by Finn Cole's sister, it follows the story of a young man in pain from his absent father trying to help a fugitive (Robbie). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Mr P Weirdest thing about this film is that virtually no one in this american dust bowl drama is American. Most interesting thing as well.... bit boring. Oh I nearly forgot, longest shower scene ever. Can I suggest watching Badlands instead, its really good, Dreamland is not. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Cristian s Entretenida historia dramática, una historia simple pero muy bien contada. Buenas actuaciones, con poquito hace que los personajes te importen (y no solo los protagonistas, los padres y la hermana también logran generar simpatía y entender sus motivaciones en el poco tiempo que aparecen en pantalla). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review chris r A truly bland unimaginative film with a plot worthy of a TV soap. One of those films where you can spot the plot line from a mile away, no surprises. A couple of hours of my life I will never get back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Ken R This film turned out to be one of the surprises of the year, offering some rare style from moviemakers I'd not heard of before. Production values, visual design, and performances are first class with strong naturalistic use of dramatic locations, transporting the thinking viewer into some bleak, dust-battered landscapes. First time feature writer Nicolaas Zwart creates an interesting variety of characters to propel this study of a wounded, escaping female bank robber (Marot Robbie) holed up in the barn of a struggling 1930s dustbowl farm – in turn, being assisted by the owner's downtrodden young step-son (Finn Cole) Co-writer, director and score composer Miles Joris Payrafite works well with Award-winning cinematographer Lyle Vincent, creating a moody atmosphere with eye-popping shots of massive dust storms blanketing barren farmlands. For some, this could be familiar ground, but the cast of above-average performers and strong visual treatment should keep the patient viewer fully engaged. There's a winning star turn by young Darby Camp, as the son's adoring young sister. A largely unnecessary scene featuring a seduction in a shower is overlong and somewhat detracts from the general flow of the story, along with some F-bombs that filter through. As in most movies, there are the odd details that don't always work, but these are minor compared to many - and with all the modern innovations for sound, some of the post production voice over narration was a little muffled and hard to hear – otherwise a slick and thoughtfully enjoyable entertainment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/22 Full Review dave s Set in the dust bowl of 1930s Texas, young Eugene Evans (Finn Cole) is looking for a way out. When he finds an attractive and manipulative bank robber (Margot Robbie) on the run hiding on his family's property, he is torn between turning her in for the reward or running off with her to Mexico. Dreamland is a surprisingly well-crafted film, filled with nicely framed and blocked shots, some effective camerawork (including some great tracking shots), and sound performances from Cole and the seemingly always reliable Robbie. Sadly, the narration feels out of place and unnecessary and there are a bunch of jarring shots of the ocean cut into scenes, but the film's merits outweigh its shortcomings.

      Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The stylized direction along with Cole's and Robbie's performances make this worthwhile, but the screenplay needed to flesh out the attraction between the two leads. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The squared-off framing and lateral tracking shots suggest a study of modern film school favorites like Wes Anderson and Bong Joon-ho. While all this might be taken to signal a facetious distance from the material, irony and cynicism are curiously absent. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) It's fascinating to watch an actor like Robbie, who so consciously uses beauty as a tool to define the way her characters drift through the world. Rated: 3/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) A screenplay with more zest to it or a twist in the tale would have made a difference. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM Margot Robbie puts Dreamland on her back and makes something from very little. While this confirms her as a star you can rely on, there are better uses for her talents than this undercooked chase movie. Rated: 2/5 Feb 28, 2022 Full Review Morris Yang In Review Online Dreamland concludes with a running off into the great, unknown expanse of fiction; more important, sometimes, than any of the facts.
