relaxalot 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.

englishkam Dora (Eden Brolin) wishes she were somewhere else, but ends up right where she needs to be. Great Aunt Vera (Diane Ladd) pines for the love of her life, but finds new hope with family and friends. Abbey (Danielle Brooks) owns a shop, but finds her lifelong dreams are within her reach. Everyone dreams too much...but is that a bad thing? This film is a lighthearted romp through the post-college, what-do-I-do-with-my-life malaise shared by most artists and thinkers. There's authentic dialogue, and the characters are real people.With a stellar cast, breathtaking cinematography, great characters, and one-liners that elicit real laughs--this is a must-view for everyone!

jeffreygenung This movie is light hearted, fun and has a solid message. It reminded me of Ann of Green Gables. The acting and story line are engaging. I'd like to see more movies like this being made that highlight women of substance. There was one part that seemed as though it skipped ahead or somehow a scene was missing but overall the scenes flowed together seamlessly.The story outlined in this movie helps shine light on the wonderful qualities of a strong-minded young women, especially when she is fortunate enough to find a quality mentor that can help guide but also grow from the relationship. Well done and highly recommended.

leahbagger A real life coming of age film. The main character is 20 years old and has just finished college. Her close friends are embarking on different paths and her mom has her own dreams she wants her daughter to fulfill. The script is beautiful in that it captures real life experiences within family without being over dramatic or too Hollywood. I can picture myself as each one of the characters as a past, current or future me! The cinematography is spectacular. The snowy scenes are dreamy and frequently capture an artistic sense that moves your heart with memories that may not be yours! Don't miss this warming peak into these charming characters' lives.
