Natalia Winkelman New York Times Kaur acts as an amiable anchor, gamely embodying a mother and a daughter across time periods. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey RogerEbert.com An uneven vision of what beautifully once was and what sadly still is. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) This peppy first feature by Fawzia Mirza has a boisterous energy and toe-tapping use of music reminiscent of Maryam Keshavarz’s similarly themed, Sundance audience award-winning The Persian Version. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Women Write About Comics I’m relieved I caught a screening of The Queen of My Dreams because it was hard to get tickets and the theatre was really packed... The film was heartwarming and heartrending. It was funny and cute and visually striking. Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Krithika MovieJawn The phrase “The Queen of My Dreams” takes on several meanings within romantic relationships and intergenerational relationships throughout the film, showing the vastness of their desires over decades and borders. Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Lissete Lanuza Sáenz Fangirlish The Queen of My Dreams is the kind of movie that proves there’s universality in the specifics of everyone’s experience, as long as the story is well told.
