Notes from the Wired

Dreams (2025)

June 24, 2026

Dogshit-ass movie, do not recommend.

It’s such a slog to get through. There are scene after scene where nothing happens, we just watch the characters do stuff, and I’m constantly wondering: what is the hook of this movie? When is anything going to happen? What is the purpose of this scene? What is the director trying to showcase here? How does any of this move the story forward?

Throughout most of the movie, these questions remain unanswered.

After reaching the ending, I came to the conclusion that maybe the director was trying to explore themes of control and how the attempt to control everything ultimately leads to failure. But if that’s the case, I think he failed to properly develop that theme. It wasn’t visible enough throughout the film, and the movie never gave me enough to engage with that interpretation while watching.

To end on a positive note, the setting was interesting and the sex scenes were good.
