Okay so Nicholas Cage has a new movie out. Now at this point we should know that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan. I think 90% of his filmography is absolute garbage and that he is one of the most overrated, below mediocre actors of all time. On the other hand this latest film, Dream Scenario, is also a product of A24. And they have only disappointed me once, their track record is fantastic. So we are combining one of my all time favorite sources of films with one of the things I hate the most about film. So here is my full review of Dream Scenario.

Overall I think the movie was a very A24 film. It felt like something the studio would have produced long before the Oscar attention (not that the recognition really changed it’s production style but it did force the studio to no longer be considered indie). I actually didn’t hate Nicholas Cage. I think this was the perfect role for him. The way I tried to describe it to my husband is; I don’t think Nicholas Cage is good for very many roles, and this one was perfect. But I don’t necessarily think that he was the perfect person for the role. I think if he was switched out with someone like Christian Bale that movie quality would be the same. I would give this movie a really solid 8.5/10. It’s a good watch that knew exactly what it was and it is rewatchable but I don’t think it broke any new ground.
