Critics Consensus

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

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

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

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

The story itself is kind of generic. You’ve seen a lot of these themes before. But the performances outweigh that.

It is a finely acted, beautifully shot film that ultimately rings a little hollow.

Rated: 3/5

A screenplay with more zest to it or a twist in the tale would have made a difference.

The visual appeal makes up for lots of shortcomings. Margot Robbie gives the spice to the story and supporting cast convinces in character. I love the cinematography. Writing is not top notch but good enough. Nice period piece if you are in the mood for mild & mellow entertainment

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I see Harley Quinn the way Robbie portrayed her character. Boring story plot

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).

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.

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

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.
