Leave your thoughts about A Boy. A Girl. A Dream.
| Film ThreatMatthew PassantinoA Boy. A Girl. A Dream may seem simple but every frame is a vibrant work of a passionate filmmaker. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyIf Basir and Samantha Tanner’s screenplay ultimately feels like less than a full meal, its intelligence and restraint — particularly in resisting the lure of a heavier-handed message — are nonetheless admirable. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyA film that’s pleasurable to engage with, even if the latter stretch doesn’t come close to realizing some of the early promise. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanSet amid a changing nation, the chemistry between the leads help A Boy, A Girl, A Dream find a love story within an ever-changing world. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThe understated performances gurgle with powerful emotions. Hardwick and Good are terrific as people trying be cool to a stranger, but failing to conceal their underlying feelings. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersNot every directorial choice or camera movement works, but this indie drama shines in the silences. The moments between lines of dialogue are the strongest as Cass and Frida sit side by side and look at each other, with expressions and reactions saved only for us. |
| Houston ChronicleCary DarlingQasim Basir's melancholic mood piece, "A Boy. A Girl. A Dream.," certainly has its pretensions...But to get caught up in its impressive stylishness is to miss the larger point of finding strength through human connection. |
| Black Girl NerdsJonita DavisFrom the open cityscapes to the closed confines of the rideshare, Basir packs plenty of material for audiences to digest. His use of such a turbulent time is unique and thought-provoking. |
| TheWrapTricia OlszewskiThe couple’s talk about dreams deferred is too knee-jerk to warrant sympathy. And though a lot of quiet in between their squabbling is sometimes a relief, it ultimately points to an underdeveloped script that suggests it’s more profound than it is. These two are a little too comfortable with silences. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonIts reach ultimately exceeds its grasp, but this low-budget character drama benefits from a pair of solid understated performances and scrappy ambition. |
