Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

rockdileesha Actually I didn't expect lot from this one in the beginning but after watching it I am delighted that I found a hidden gem in it. This flick impressively maintains it pace as well. Teenagers were brilliant in their roles specially the male character. For the given budget this movie got lot to offer . I bet you will find complete package of drama, thriller, crime, romance in this one. So it's worth to give a shot at it....

Blayr Kova I rate movies, but rarely write reviews. Only if I like them a lot. If you enjoy movies that keep you in your seat, so that you can't even go to pee!.. Than, Mean Dreams is your choice. You think and guess that this boy and girl will fall in love, and evil fathers will cause problems, from the beginning. But things get out of hand more than this and hard to imagine what will happen next.I, personally would have liked more brutality and blood, as example, see girl's dad get more violent on the boy's family, torturing his dad and raping his mom. Boy hijack the bus, Sheriff more psychotic, etc. This movie could have been extended in so many ways without question, and I would have watched it even it was over 2 hours.All actors do a superb performance. Landscapes,cinematography and editing is great.Enjoy it.

Eddie_weinbauer The story starts off OK.But than the action of the two main characters just becomes so stupid,that you start yelling at the screen. Some of the scenery is quite nice,but it doesn't save the movie from being the low budget movie that it is.Another thing that bugs me is,you don't really get a feel for the town or its people.It's just the two teen and their families, everyone else,what little there is of other people.Are just vague background noise.I miss some indication about how old they are suppose to be The girls does a fairly good acting job but,they both come of like they are really quite young,barley in their teens.********Warning spoilers***********Warning Spoilers********* There's a scene when they are on the run,and are staying in a motel room.The dog start barking madly at the door,cause the sheriff is driving around the parking lot,with a dog whistle.They act all causal about it,like the dogs loud barking is no big deal.Just do a superficial check of the area,until the very last minute. No sign of them worrying about other guests or anything. Don't be fooled by the other guy,who claims there is sex in the movie.There is none,they are both minors

NeonDisguise As a low-budget thriller/drama, I came into this film with modest expectations. I was very delighted to be treated to a well-acted film with an incredible landscape (filmed in Ontario).The acting was perfect. Sophie Nelisse has the makings of a world-famous box office smasher someday. Josh Wiggins was superb in his lead role. And the late great Bill Paxton played his role flawlessly.I will not include any spoilers as to why I'm "only" giving it an 8 out of 10, but I will say that this indie thriller is definitely worth watching.Rest in peace, Bill Paxton.
