The Dreamers
When Isabelle and Theo invite Matthew to stay with them, what begins as a casual friendship ripens into a sensual voyage of discovery and desire in which nothing is off limits and everything is possible.
Audience Sentiment
Revolution breaks through
Losing steam in the middle
The film drops significantly in the second hour as reviewers found it repetitive and flat, then recovers dramatically when the outside world intrudes with the parents' discovery and street revolution
Critics praised the film's strong opening with excellent period atmosphere and cinema references, but noted it loses momentum significantly in the middle hour before recovering with a powerful climactic awakening. The brave exploration of sexuality divided audiences, with some finding it artistic and others uncomfortable.
