In Dreams

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1999 Filmcritic.com

Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) just keeps going down down down. This time, it's a "thriller" about a loony who controls the dreams of Bening, making her loony as well. The loony (I'll kill the "suspense"--it's Downey) also kills her daughter and husband, you know, just for kicks. And there's apples apples apples galore! You know, for symbolism. I think.

The story never comes together, despite an intriguing performance from Bening as a complete nut job.
