A Disappointing Continuation
Micah Lloyd
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Before watching this movie I read everyone else's reviews on this page. They all said it was good, so I watched it on netflix. IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! The idea was done so may times before (see in my sleep)and never well. The whole love at first sight s**t was just unbelievable and just the basic corniness of it ruined it. The fill makers tried to mesh a gritty dark drama with a fluffy love story and it did not work. With that said, the filming wasn't that bad neither was the acting. But because the characters were written so badly it was hard to relate to this movie. I really wish it was written better, and that no everyone on IMDb gave it such good reviews ( it was misleading).

Not many people have voted for Daydreamer, and even less have written a review. Because of this I'm writing this review, and with English not being my native language, I'll try my best to make it understandable for everyone.The reason I watched Daydreamer is the brilliant acting Aaron Paul has shown us as Jesse Pinkman in the television series Breaking Bad (if you haven't watched it, stop reading and go watch it now). In this movie Aaron Paul has a slightly similar role as in Breaking Bad.In Daydreamer he's a young drug-addict that has no ambition to change the miserable path he's on. And then he meets this classy blonde girl that turns his life upside down without him even realising it. It sounds cliché right? It's not. The movie keeps you guessing what's going on. Not even the main character knows what's going on. And the ending, it really caught me by surprise.Overall it's a good movie, it's honest, dark, cruel and brilliantly edited. It definitely deserves more views than it has right now.

i saw this film at Vail and liked it very much. i was impressed with the heart and soul of it as it was obvious these people were committed to it's living in the screen. the script was compelling and well written. Aaron Paul did a fine job maintaining his through line. kebbel was lovely and entrancing. i thought James wellington in particular was riveting when on the screen. the director captured very well a seedy, dangerous lifestyle that does exist. the obvious low budget is a little distracting at times, but almost seems to enhance at others. the photography seems to be completely hand-held and is excellent. i hope to see more from these first time film makers.

I saw a screening of this film at the Vail Film Festival and I was pleasantly surprised. I hadn't really heard anything about it and was walking through Vail Village when two guys (who I later realized were the director and writer) handed me a flyer. They were pretty funny (and standing in the freezing cold while it was snowing) which actually got me to come see the movie... plus the flyer looked pretty mysterious. The movie started out kinda slow but at the ten minute mark I was hooked. A huge mystery was introduced and there were so many twists and turns from that point on that I forgot I was at a film festival screening. Every once in a while I was reminded that the film was a low-budget feature, but I didn't even care at that point because I was so involved in the story. Without ruining anything...I thought it was wrapped up pretty well and I definitely thought that the director did a great job keeping it interesting since the story takes place mostly in one location. It was the best film I saw at the festival (definitely better than "murder party"). I stayed for the Q&A after which is when I realized that the two guys who handed me the flyers were the director and writer. I was pretty impressed with how quickly they shot the film and also at how it was both of their first projects. It was also cool to see Arielle Kebbel and Aaron Paul and hear them talk about the film. I look forward to seeing these promising filmmakers next projects because I will one day be able to say that I saw a screening of their first film and got a chance to meet them and be at their Q&A.
