Storyline

80-year-old Alice Hargreaves is about to visit Columbia University to attend a reception in honour of author Lewis Carroll. As a child, Alice's close friendship with the writer was the creative catalyst for Carroll's most beloved work. However, as Alice reflects on her experiences with the author, she slowly realises the complexity of their bond has had lasting, deeply felt ramifications.

RTThe New YorkerSep 13, 2023

[Ian Holm gives] a wonderful performance -- sneaky-dirty in its recessiveness, funny and painful at the same moments.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

Dreamchild is an ambitious movie that tries to do a lot of things, and does most of them surprisingly well.

RTFilm FrenzySep 25, 2022

This could have been a classic had it not wasted so much time on Alice's simpering assistant (Nicola Cowper) and a tiresome NYC reporter (Peter Gallagher).

Exquisite on every level, Dreamchild is a film to cherish.
