Leave your thoughts about I'll See You in My Dreams.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn emotionally rich drama that conveys the sunshine and shadows of the elder years. |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekIt's crucial to note, too, that this isn't just a nice little movie for older people: There's some real bite to the way it deals with the life questions that come with aging, and whatever sweetness it has is just an undertone, not a feel-good frosting overlay. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleNow after 43 years in feature films, Danner has gotten the opportunity to show what she can do, and in I’ll See You in My Dreams, she is simply jaw-dropping, just wonderful. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt's a heartfelt, character-driven look at aging gracefully that manages to be both humorous and poignant. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe tender magnetism of Blythe Danner turns an intelligent, sensitive story of love among the not so young into a work of art. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyIt’s always a pleasure to see Blythe Danner in a movie. And it’s even more of a pleasure to see Blythe Danner in a good movie. No, not a good movie. A really good movie. |
| TheWrapInkoo KangThe recent proliferation of gray-haired cinema is a welcome development, but it hasn’t yielded very many notable pictures. “Dreams” doesn’t just buck that trend; it points a new way forward by being frank about living one’s final years and confronting that fact every day. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA formulaic but engaging dramedy...older audiences in particular will find it a pleasant way to spend their time. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA work of quiet, crystalline empathy, I’ll See You in My Dreams is notable for reasons that nearly overshadow its modest yet indisputable charms. It’s a drama about the kind of people invisible to the movies and much of our culture — senior citizens in the early evening of their lives — and it grants its characters individuality in ways that are almost wholly free of cliché. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardHaley allows Danner to be exquisite as Carol, never rushing while allowing the actress to explore every nuance of her character. We casually fall in step with her, grateful to be there. |
