“Dreamland is a heavy hitter in both its honest and intimate portrayal of lost romantic opportunity and the lessons learned in this quirky and serious coming of age film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt first glance this film may come off like an adult romance cliche but donu0026#39;t let that fool you. This is a fresh work and a brilliant first feature by Robert Schwartzman. The film has a way of grabbing your attention with each stage of the film. Montyu0026#39;s dream of becoming a jazz bar owner and the realization that love may not always come in neatly decorated packages.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJohnny Simmons and Amy Landecker create a fresh look at an overlooked cliche and instead deliver an honest view of love lost that is both charmingly playful and heartbreakingly dreamy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLastly, the music composition of the film was pieced together incredibly well. Jumping like a heartbeat, between awkward adolescence and the uncertainty of love to its more mature and intimate moments reminiscent of The Graduate (as another reviewer has commented on).”
