Even the popcorn looked bored during Dreamchild.

Dreamchild: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Dreamchild: an airport-run cliché stretched into a feature film.

The cinematography in Dreamchild is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Dreamchild last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Dreamchild is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Dreamchild was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Dreamchild?
Honestly, Dreamchild would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Dreamchild's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Dreamchild. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
