Dream Scenario (Kristoffer Borgli, 2023)

I am excited and hope it comes out this year in the UK.

 

always here for some Nicolas Cage

 

hell yeah

 

If you haven't seen Sick of Myself yet it's amazing. Best film of last year. Can't wait for this

 

Looks great

 

agreed

 

This was fantastic

 

saw this a few days ago, i think it's good and cage is pretty amazing but it whiffs the ending and maybe the last act too

 

Totally agree. I loved it up until the third act.

 

Heard that from a few people, curious to see why

 

Hard agree on loving the movie til the last act. It's not awful. It just has so much potential to be amazing and sort of fizzles.

 

I liked the ending!

 

To clarify, I didn't think it was bad. It just felt like it was building to something really profound or unsettling. And it didn't for me.

 

The first hour or so was pretty good then the shift to cancel culture BS and on was pretty bad.

 

This was overall good, but it goes off the rails a bit in the third act. Cage was fantastic though.

 

Cage is always fantastic.

 

This is true

 

The ending was honestly my favourite part. I thought the whole film was great though.

 

This was okay. The nods to Being John Malkovich threaten to become overwhelming but it really misses a sense of purpose overall. Equating "cancel culture" (sexual assault victims speaking out and men facing consequences) with hysterical college students getting mad about their imagination felt like a FOX News bit.

 

That’s were it lost me as well. That whole section felt like it was trying to have its cake and eat it too. It wants you to feel bad for Nic Cage for being ostracized despite not doing anything but then also look at his reactions to that as childish and fueled by insecurity. The problem is it makes the general public seem so unreasonable that his anger towards everyone feels justified and the intent is lost.

 

Yeah, the cancel culture stuff is insane and I went into this having no idea it would go there, but as a whole the movie was really endearing and sporadically very funny imo. Looked great.
