Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Between its themes of youth, parenthood and pressure, all to the sonorous beauty of the music itself, there is a real ache to Lennon’s film that you mightn’t see coming. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2024 Full Review Mick Jordan Film Ireland Magazine The film is a very entertaining slice of a life we normally know so little about. Here we feel that we are seeing ordinary daily life in modern China through the lives of these people we quickly come to know... May 30, 2024 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Piano Dreams seems like a straightforward, observational documentary but throughout Lennon tries to look beyond the cliche to a more complex reality.
