Unique style bringing together the best of montage film, essay film, documentary - and the cherry on top being Tilda Swinton as voice artist! Very thoroughly researched interpretation of our current situation, our unconditional appetite for hyper-connectivity. Stunning historical film footage. You can see it's a work of love - and brains!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a marvel of montage, charming and bizarre and frequently funny, thanks in no small part to the good humor of our narrator.

"Dreams Rewired" is scattered by necessity and intent, and it throws off enough sparks to set your brain reeling.

Rated: 3/4

Seattle Times

As a documentary, "Dreams Rewired" spends a long time circling various points without ever landing on one.

Rated: 2.5/4

PopMatters

Dreams Rewired is a response to and a meditation upon the philosophy of our increasingly mediated world; privacy, anxiety, and power shifts are just snippets of the film's greater messages.

Rated: 7/10

The effect is more somnambulistic than stimulating, and eventually you're less concerned about Big Brother peering into your home than you are about getting Tilda Swinton out of your head.

Dreams Rewired isn't in the business of recovery or even analysis. Instead, it gestures, it implies, it signifies.
