Incarcerated and charged with murder, David Aames Jr. is telling the story of how he got to where he is to McCabe, the police psychologist. That story includes: being the 51% shareholder of a major publishing firm, which he inherited from his long deceased parents; the firm's board, appointed by David Aames Sr., being the 49% shareholders who would probably like to see him gone as they see him as being too irresponsible and immature to run the company; his best bro friendship with author, Brian Shelby; his "friends with benefits" relationship with Julie Gianni, who saw their relationship in a slightly different light; his budding romance with Sofia Serrano, who Brian brought to David's party as his own date and who Brian saw as his own possible life mate; and being in an accident which disfigured his face and killed the person who caused the accident. But as the story proceeds, David isn't sure what is real and what is a dream/nightmare as many facets of the story are incompatible to be all real. The mysterious man in the restaurant may be able to shed some light on David's confusion.

| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntIt's intricate, true, yet surprisingly easy to follow. |
| eFilmCritic.comCollin SouterOne of the year's best...after the second or third viewing. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA ravishing stunner that never loses its way once...Director[Cameron Crowe's] most stunning work to date. |
| The Moving Picture ShowJoe LeydonA brazenly challenging and richly rewarding fable about actions and consequences, dreams and realities. |
| The Film YapNick RogersCameron Crowe's vinyl-collector version of "Jacob's Ladder" is a daring gamble paying off even when ambition exceeds his grasp. The subconscious can boil over with too much pop culture poured in. Keep that in mind, and it will have you at "What the hell?" |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Two and a half hours I'll never get back... |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThis isn't a typically dumbed-down rehash and, as such, it dissatisfied the rank and file of multiplex moviegoers but earned the appreciation of adventurous film fans. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersVanilla Sky is one of the most challenging films of the year. It is thought provoking, mysterious, complex, nerve racking, beautiful, creepy, funny and a trip deliriously all its own. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovVanilla Sky is an enjoyable experience whether or not you have seen the original. |
