Dreams Of A Life is an investigation into the life of one Joyce Vincent; but it's one of those cases that may never be completely solved, leaving the viewer in a positively comtemplative state.

Somewhere at the bottom of this story is an ache about the value of a life.

Its holes or omissions cannot diminish the gaping eloquence of the situation and the questions that arise.

Dreams of a Life is, undoubtedly, an important documentary, but, strangely, it is also the one that somewhat lacks sensitivity.
