The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

We found this on Netflix streaming movies. It has no box office data and appears to have been seen by relatively small audiences. The writer/director is a first-timer.It is about a smart girl who is a recent college graduate at 20 and, encouraged by her rather pushy mom is studying for the LSAT exams. She will be a lawyer, a very good one ... or will she? Is that what she really wants?The story explores her coming to grips with what she really wants to do. When her friends go off in the winter to frolic on beaches she volunteers to go to upstate NY to help her great aunt who recently broke her foot. Mainly to get away from mom's constant "How's the studying coming along?" But the encounters there, with her great aunt and others, helps her see the bigger picture of life.The great aunt is Diane Ladd (nearing 80) as Vera who had been married to a successful author. The college graduate is Eden Brolin as Dora.This is the first time I had seen young Eden, daughter of Josh, and during filming she probably was really 20 or 21. I came away very favorably impressed, she looks great on camera and has good, natural acting chops. The movie succeeds or fails on her performance and in my opinion succeeds very well.

As someone who craves movies about interesting people and who has no love for movies about "superheroes" or movies that glorify violence I was delighted to see this lovely heartfelt movie "I Dream Too Much." The movie revolves around a charming young woman played winningly by Eden Brolin who has a unique presence void of clichés and who has a fertile imagination which serves her in navigating her post college path. Her counter point in this movie is her irascible Great Aunt played with great charisma and conviction by Diane Ladd who is a standout in this production. The movie is shot in Saugerties, New York which is captured beautifully by DP Alex Rappaport. Writer/Director Katie Cokinos has made a movie you can enjoy for it's subtle currents of evolving sensibilities about the things that matter in navigating the contours of lead character Dora's life and may remind all of us about the importance of what we already have when we are searching for what we desire.

I thought this was a very good movie about coming of age. It touched on a lot of themes that are relevant. It had a varied cast but I especially liked that the main characters were women and held the movie by themselves without really revolving around a man or men. I would like to see a lot more of this type of movie in Hollywood, what a great change that would be. I felt all the actors did a great job and I was definitely impressed with Eden Brolin since it was her first film. One could not tell that, she seemed polished, did a wonderful job. The cinematography was beautiful showing the frozen Hudson River and other pretty sights in the wonderful small town in upstate NY of Saugerties. It made the movie feel homey and inviting. Thanks so much for enjoyable entertainment.

What a delightful adventure. I was swept up with Dora as she explored her world after college and admired the way the film showed young and not so young women learning how to creatively navigate in the real world. It is rare to see a coming of age film revolving around a woman particularly right after college graduation. With a light touch, this film explores serious questions that any creatively minded person explores while entering the real world and all the opportunities that brings and shuts out. It touches on the courage necessary, along with imagination, inspiration, belief in one's self, etc. that one needs in one's tool kit to make it as a creative person in the real, often cruel world.
