Summary
Reviewers say 'Silver and the Book of Dreams' is a fantasy film with imaginative visuals and captivating special effects. However, it deviates significantly from the original book, altering characters, plot, and setting, which disappoints some viewers. The cast's performances receive mixed reviews, with praise for bringing characters to life but criticism for lacking development and chemistry. Pacing is contentious, with opinions divided between rushed and fast-moving. Despite these issues, many find the film enjoyable for its unique concept and engaging story.

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 a story for teen-aged girls. I don't say that as a criticism, but to set expectations. I got half-way thru it and had to quit. The story is too simple, with no real backstory, and too saccharin for most adults. It could use a dose of darkness to up the age appeal - even Dr Who does that in it's modern incarnation.
I do think it is well produced and well acted by the young adults actors. It has generally good visuals and not cheap CGI. Parts of the dialog are in German without subtitles so I had to watch with closed caption.
Checkout The Magicians for an example of an adult-oriented fantasy magic story.

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.

German school girl Liv is forced to relocate to London, along with her sister, when her mother remarries. On her first night there she has a strange dream; in it she encounters a group of boys who were taking part in a ritual in a graveyard. On her first day at her new school she discovers the boys are real and attend the same school. She learns that the boys are in possession of a book that explains how to enter other people's dreams. It also explains how a group of four boys and a maiden may use it to make a dream come true. Inevitably Liv is invited to become that maiden. They perform the ritual not realising there is a catch. A catch that could be deadly for Liv. Will she be able to unravel the puzzle before it is too late and just who can she trust?
I have not read the book on which this is based, and judging by other reviews that may be a good thing as far as enjoying the film goes. The story is solid enough. It wastes no time getting into the action. Similarly it doesn't take too long before Liv, and the viewer, learns of the danger and its potentially lethal outcome. There is a good sense of paranoia as the list of people Liv thinks may be out to harm her increases. There are some decent twists and turns along the way. The look of the dream scenes in good; sometimes it is obvious other times less so. The cast, none of whom I recall seeing in anything before, does a solid job. Overall I wouldn't say this was a must see but passed ninety minutes well enough; I suspect it will appeal more to the YA market.

I just finished watching 'Silver and the Book of Dreams' and wanted to share my thoughts. It was a decent film, everyone involved did a great job.
The visuals were pretty cool, with some imaginative landscapes and interesting stuff in the dream hall in particular. They added a nice touch to the overall experience.
The characters were well portrayed, and the cast did a great job bringing them to life. While I didn't feel a deep connection to them, they were still enjoyable to watch, and I really liked the group dynamics.
The music was nice and complemented the film well, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me.
Overall, 'Silver and the Book of Dreams' is worth a watch if you're a fan of fantasy films. It may not be the most mind-blowing one out there, but everyone involved put in a great effort, and it's a really solid film.
