"If you build it, he will come." With these words, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) is inspired by a voice he can’t ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe.Supported by his wife Annie (Amy Madigan), Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true. Along the way he meets reclusive activist Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), the mysterious “Doc” Graham (Burt Lancaster) and even the legendary “Shoeless Joe” Jackson (Ray Liotta). A heart-warming experience that has moved critics and audiences like no other film of this generation, Field of Dreams is a glowing tribute to all who dare to dream. (Universal Pictures UK)

Field of Dreams is beautifully filmed, but it’s too much of an overly sweet fairy tale. I like poetic films, but if it weren’t for James Horner’s magical soundtrack, which I already knew very well, I would have been rather bored by this.

I actually had to adjust the mode pretty quickly when I realized that Field of Dreams is really poetic. I originally imagined anything but that. At that point I began to dive into the ideas that this story has, which are essentially really nice. It’s just a shame that I started getting there only towards the ending. And the American farming life, Iowa, cornfields and baseball are not my cup of tea either, so that’s another reason for three stars. Baseball actually doesn’t need to be related to the premise at all and you still won’t get rid of it.
