Dream Scenario

Dream Scenario is a peculiar and provocative film with more ideas than it knows what to do with.

The spectacle of Cage revelling in being boring is perversely entertaining in itself.

This film is a thoughtful, funny and timely satirical dissection of the cancel culture age in which we live, lifted throughout by Cage’s performance. That he can act is something not even the US Internal Revenue Service can argue with.

It's got a lot of real world truths to it, but [It's] not the most novel story in the world.

If I would recommend it at all, it would be just to see what Cage is doing here, which I think is really terrific.

Nicolas Cage is everywhere all at once in this dark and brilliantly doolally satire.

...an openly fantastic narrative, with elements of horror cinema and dystopian parable. [Full review in Spanish]

Dream Scenario won’t go down in Cage history as one of his best performances or best films. Interesting concept for sure but beyond that, it would be best to let this film fall into the ether.

While Dream Scenario often feels provocative for provocation’s sake, it’s not without its pockets of profundity.

Borgli examines what happens to one’s self-image when thrust into the spotlight so suddenly, and when that goes wrong, what lasting harm is left?
