In Your Dreams Review: An animated film filled with whimsy and harsh realities tucks you in for an imaginative adventure


In Alexander Woo’s In Your Dreams, Stevie (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and Elliot (Elias Janssen) are a sister-brother duo hoping to reignite the spark between their Mom (Cristin Milioti) and Dad (Simu Liu) in the face of an impending separation. While the threat of Stevie and Elliot’s parents’ separation looms in the background, the rollicking adventure through various dreamlands allows us to have fun with the premise while exploring familiar yet unpredictable worlds. I enjoyed watching the sibling duo gradually mature throughout the film, as the reality of both the dangers of dreams and their inability to stop the inevitable dawn.
