Dreambuilders

It’s impossible to avoid comparing Dreambuilders with Pixar's Inside Out, which also took the audience into the depths of the human head, but this Danish film lacked a strong and complex plot. Dreambuilders does have an appealing premise that actually lured me to the cinema, and it is a pity that the makers didn’t let their imagination run a little more free and rather focused (again and again) on relationship-family issues and (a little bit obvious) lecturing the viewer. I have to say that the character of Jenny really got on my nerves, and therefore I completely sympathized with Mina's actions, but as it happens, even the good characters have their downsides. It’s a shame that the film didn't offer any downright funny, dramatic or action scenes that would have stuck in my mind more, perhaps only the "sweater dejà vu" had a bit of a sharper comic edge. As a result, I enjoyed mainly the dream world "behind the wall", whose limitless possibilities remained at times punishingly untapped. (29/07/2020)
