Leave your thoughts about Pelican Dreams.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferStunning, informative and captivating. You'll have a much deeper understanding of and passion for pelicans. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe film is basically 80 minutes of bird-watching, but Irving has a knack for storytelling that makes the time, like those birds, fly away effortlessly. |
| New York PostSara StewartTheir prospects seem more nightmarish than dreamy, but Irving's gentle narrative is also an ode to their grace and almost alien beauty. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickThe film is spare, empathic, and deeply introspective, and its imagery, such as a pelican fascinated by its own reflection, is so sublime in its kookiness as to be worthy of Werner Herzog. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJudy Irving injects just enough of herself into her Pelican Dreams to distinguish this sweet film from an episode of the PBS series “Nature.” |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanThe fate of these birds, which, the film tells us, could live into their 40s, becomes as engrossing as many a human drama. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisMorro is a great character, and for the most part, the film is animal friendly and environmentally serious. In the end, Irving turns out to be a reliable narrator. |
| Village VoiceKatherine VuThe most effective part of Irving's film is how deftly she captures the pelicans' clear anxieties, curiosities, and joys. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPelican Dreams will give you a new appreciation for these creatures sometimes referred to as "flying dinosaurs." |
| MetroActiveRichard von BusackA wealth of feeling is the hallmark of Irving's documentaries: feeling, self-questioning, a clarity of intention that reminds one of Agnes Varda. |
