Leave your thoughts about Arizona Dream.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt illustrates the truism that the biggest difference between European and American directors using America as a site for fantasies is that the Europeans are likelier to know what they're doing. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is goofier than hell - you can't stop watching because nobody in the audience, and possibly nobody on the screen, has any idea what's going to happen next. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonArizona Dream is enjoyably adrift, a wildly off-the-wall reverie. It's more than a fish out of water. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullDavid Lynch, you've got a target on your back. Compelling and strange, worth seeking out if you can find it (which ain't easy). |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasArizona Dream is the quintessential Nuart movie. It’s a dazzling, daring slice of cockamamie tragicomic Americana envisioned with magic realism by a major, distinctive European filmmaker, the former Yugoslavia’s Emir Kusturica. |
| VarietyVariety StaffKusturica grafts his sometimes unwieldy Europe-inflected concerns onto brash American landscapes with mixed results. Much is made of dreams that, either spoken of at length or illustrated, are offered in lieu of character development. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannArizona Dream is an inspired, erratic goulash that ignores standard movie- making formulas. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough entertaining at times, it's not everyone's dream pic. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserAside from avuncular Lewis and two-bricks-shy-of-a-load Dunaway, this movie's greatest asset is Depp. With his scooped-out cheeks, flower petal mouth and an innately balletic approach to communicating with the camera, he is as natural a performer as film has seen in many years. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberRecalling the ‘70s shaggy-dog stories of Makavejev, Ashby, and Schatzberg, Kusturica’s French-financed American venture deserved better than the neglect it suffered in the blockbuster age. |
