New Hampshire Film Festival 2025 Spotlight Feature
R, 98min
A powerful socialite (Jessica Chastain) and a promising ballet dancer (Isaac Hernández) begin a dangerous affair. When he secretly crosses the US-Mexico border, she takes desperate measures to protect their future together.
Two terrific central performances, and Chastain’s star power in a risk-taking, sexually charged role, should bring ample attention to a bold, crisply-executed auteur statement. -Screen International
Chastain and her director deliver a provocative social critique with an extra-sharp sting in the tail. -Variety
After a season of high-minded movies about the redemptive power of art, there’s something bracing about Franco’s ruthlessly unsentimental view of the ecosystem in which artists and their benefactors operate. -NPR
Hernández in his film debut is a beguiling presence as an actor and utterly transcendent as a dancer, which we get to see a lot of. -Associated Press
“Dreams” might feel distant and frosty, but it has a lot to say about inequality and the prerogatives of privilege. -New York Times
It’s a sneaky little movie about what people are really like, and it’s impressive. -San Francisco Chronicle
