Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Terry Staunton

The lean times of the Great Depression are evoked in this action-fuelled period drama starring Margot Robbie as a femme fatale who lures lovestruck teenager Finn Cole into a life of crime. Allison and Eugene are on the run from the law (including the latter's deputy sheriff stepfather) after a series of robberies, and the pursuit intensifies following the death of a bystander in the crossfire between cops and culprits. Director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte's film contains familiar tropes from such outlaw classics as Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands, but Dreamland flips the notion on its head by having the female as the chief manipulator. The leads are perfectly cast, with Cole especially good as the lonely misfit who dreams of a happy-ever-after future for the couple in Mexico, and the heists are executed with a suitably dreamlike visual flair.
