Leave your thoughts about Radio Dreams.
| Washington PostChristopher Kompanek"Radio Dreams" is a quintessentially American story. |
| Pittsburgh City PaperAl HoffBabak Jalali's dramedy is an affirmation of the trans-cultural aspect of art, but also notes the irresolvable sadness when one no longer resides in the homeland that once fed one's soul. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyThere are traces of early Wim Wenders in this story of immigrants adrift in a world not their own, trying to make the best of things. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe uneven but amusing script celebrates the unifying powers of art and culture while layering such observations with sociopolitical context. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisWe want additional time with these characters, and that's a credit to this film: Like Hamid, we yearn for even more. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyOne of the more touching of [the] stories finds poetry in the fact that you're never more than 20 minutes from water in this town. (Hunh.) |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe characters' anxious wait for the superstars to arrive provides Jalali with enough tension to sustain his succession of low-key, character-oriented gags. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaDirector and scriptwriter Babak Jalali cleverly uses the station's ramshackle, microbudget operations to highlight the humanity on both sides of the struggle between art and commerce (it's almost like a wrestling match...) |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerNot much happens in Babak Jalali's Radio Dreams, but that's all right. This is a comedy of gentle chaos; you just sort of coast along with it, smiling and occasionally chuckling. |
| User ReviewJoseph CStrong character development and interesting insight and perspective on this American immigrant experience. |
