Dreams (Sex Love) is an invitation to spend time with and think alongside Haugerud’s liberated characters, and it’s a welcome one, however artificial and unlikely his framing can sometimes feel.

Sharply written, insightful and exhilaratingly unexpected, this film is one of the very best of the year so far.

‘Dreams’ winds up leading viewers to feel both mildly implicated and overwhelmingly frustrated as Johanne’s narrative gradually veers from questions about what really happened to Johanne to why we care in the first place.

Haugerud doesn't offer moral lessons, but rather mirrors. And before them, both his characters and the viewer must learn to read themselves anew. [Full review in Spanish]
