Silver and the Book of Dreams

Fantasy films like this are such a guilty pleasure! I remember watching stuff like maze runner and divergent growing up and always loved film for things like that. They're always just entertaining and throw you into a world of imagination and excitement. And this brought me back entirely. It had a cast that gave it their all, a main character i fell in love with and a story I've never heard before.

The dream hall stuff in particular was so cool, and the group dynamics really made me think of my old dystopian favourites, they really bounced off of each other well. It was a great watch! I liked it a lot.

This could have been a great YA fantasy movie! The actual bare bones of the idea is fantastic, but the delivery was really disappointing.

I think one of the main issues is that its trying to create too much conflict in too many areas, which results in you never being emotionally invested in any of them and it all falls flat and 'meh'.

So you're introduced to a family conflict with the female lead, a conflict over a dead parent, an additional conflict with her new family members, a conflict with the ensemble characters, and another conflict with family members within that ensemble, and another with the antagonist. See what I mean? What are you supposed to care about?? The beginning drags unnecessarily with the initial couple of concepts (which are never properly resolved) and then thrown into the next ones with no emotional investment.

I don't like being down on young actors normally, but in this instance none of their performances were strong enough to overcome a bad and bloated script, and the main character was actually pretty unlikeable. Rude, curt, with bizarre emotional outbursts, it doesnt make any sense why everyone seems to love her.

I was left with the impression that there was a large amount of fat to trim from this film. It didnt need 80% of the supposed conflict, it just needed one - the main characters guilt, thats it. And it would have had a much more powerful effect than the ocean of crap ruining it.

I found it a shame because the fantasy and dream walking aspect would have been much more fun to lean into more and explore. I finished it really disappointed.

I just don't understand why some people are against this film! Seriously, I know it's not like this precious book you love, but get over it! It's mind-boggling to me. I mean, come on, the visuals were absolutely stunning! The way they brought the fantasy world to life was fantastic, and just like how kerstin gier describes. And let's not forget about the cast! They did an incredible job portraying the characters and making them feel so real.

I think sometimes people just expect too much or have different preferences when it comes to movies. But for me, "Silver and the Book of Dreams" was a good film that kept me hooked from start to finish. It's a shame that not everyone sees it that way.

So, I'd say give it a watch and let yourself be immersed in the fun new world of "Silver and the Book of Dreams". I'd love to hear what you think after you've seen it.

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion, this film is quite underrated and definitely deserves a look if you are interested in films that delve into dreams and all the stories linked to them. So as a film it is valid and above all it is very entertaining because the story is quite nice and original and all the personal objects stuff is also well exploited even if the twist is a little too unnatural and the ending is also a little unnatural and is for these reasons the film is not excellent because up until the twist it deserved a very high rating, but let's say that in the ending everything is wrong.

So Silver and the Book of Dreams was pretty awesum, to be honest. The visuals were stunnin, bringin the fantasy world to life in a captivatin way. The cast did a grate job portraying the characters, making them feel real.

The story was very good, keepin me engaged throughout. The cinematography and special effects were impressive adding to the overall story in a good way. My favourite part was was the main girl Livs final moment in her sisters draem. I don't want to spoil anythin for anyone, but it's a nice moment, made me cry when watchin it.

All but one of my friends enjoyed it too. But hey, different strokes for different folks.
