Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Jalali has constructed a true comic gem elevated by a deep sense of poignancy. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 29, 2017 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The characters' anxious wait for the superstars to arrive provides Jalali with enough tension to sustain his succession of low-key, character-oriented gags. Jun 29, 2017 Full Review Christopher Kompanek Washington Post "Radio Dreams" is a quintessentially American story. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 15, 2017 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site There is a painful element here too: the strangeness of emigration, the indifference of the new country and its population ... This is a rather sad comedy. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Al Hoff Pittsburgh City Paper Babak Jalali's dramedy is an affirmation of the trans-cultural aspect of art, but also notes the irresolvable sadness when one no longer resides in the homeland that once fed one's soul. Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight The laid-back spirits of Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders, and Christopher Guest inform Radio Dreams, which follows an amusing batch of characters on a slow journey of (semi-) self-discovery.
