Murtada Elfadl Variety 08/06/2024
The film’s humane writing is amplified by Ludovica Isidori’s glowing camerawork, while Ford’s filmmaking is a step up from their debut “Test Pattern.” The canvas is bigger, the rhythm slower yet more confident. Go to Full Review Kate Erbland IndieWire 08/02/2024

A nifty new spin on the American road trip movie, one that functions both as an intimate exploration of identity and a rallying cry for a new kind of world. Go to Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter 08/02/2024
With Dreams in Nightmares, Ford extends an exciting invitation: Get lost in my vision, open your imagination. The chemistry among the performers makes it an easy one to accept. Go to Full Review Olivia Popp Purple Hour Nov 18
The filmmaker continues the impulse that the road trip is a liberatory experience, either with a set conceptual end goal in mind or a way to escape extant conditions while not necessarily requiring a physical destination. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 04/03/2025
3.5/5
While the film is a bit meandering, it continually touches on resonant issues from knowing perspectives. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) 02/26/2025
Big and bright and full of might as three very different, but nevertheless bonded mates go in search of a missing fourth wheel. It’s a real tonic in dark times. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
