Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, The Good Thief) took an interesting but messy Bari Wood novel, Doll's Eyes, and turned it into one of the greatest thrillers of the '90s.

Has a strange beauty, an intensely creepy atmosphere, and a grandly operatic feel.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 2, 2014

In dreams, this film would be a chilling exercise in psychological horror; in reality, it's a fascinating folly.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 3, 2009

Jordan drops his common sense so consistently here that much of "In Dreams" is fascinating.

| Original Score: D | Sep 24, 2007

Ambitious but ultimately incoherent and frustrating tale that may be too cerebral for the horror genre crowds and too literal-minded for the genre's more intelligent viewers; lush visual style compensates only up to a point.

Someday, Annette Bening is going to star in a movie that's as interesting and powerful as she can be as an actress.

Pretty much falls into the bin with the many other serial killer movies made recently.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 27, 2003

Overall, a mediocre film with a few adequately chilling moments.

A scary psychological thriller with a powerful finale.

So viscerally stimulating, interesting, & well-performed on the part of Annette Bening, & then it still fell right out of my head.

Salient images fly free, thanks to Jordan's acute visual sense.

| Original Score: short | Apr 20, 2001

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 27, 2001

It's got little in the way of plausible plotting.
