User Review

'What Dreams May Come' is a unique fantasy romance based on the novel by Richard Matheson, an extremely versatile writer who defies easy categorization. It’s impossible to pinpoint exactly which genre this author writes in, just as it’s impossible to say that the film is merely a romance or a fantasy. It’s a film where the threads of philosophy, psychology, drama, and thriller are woven together. Perhaps *Where Dreams Lead* is one of the most multifaceted works I can recall.

Thoughts of death are, by their very nature, quite frightening; they can unsettle and torment our subconscious. However, thanks to Richard Matheson’s novel and director Vincent Ward, such thoughts still stir the mind, yet no longer seem quite so repulsive. This is a story about life after death, a subject that holds genuine interest not only for most viewers but has also occupied the minds of a significant number of scientists for a long time.

The film’s plot centers on a man named Chris Nielsen, a doctor; we also know for certain that he is not one to give up or lose heart, and even death is not a significant obstacle for him. Chris gradually begins to realize the hopelessness of his situation; he is overwhelmed by thoughts of the impossibility of changing or fixing anything, and even being in a place of unparalleled beauty is unable to bring even a shred of happiness to his eternal existence. Finding no solace in earthly life, Chris’s wife, Annie, decides to commit a terrible act—suicide—which, it would seem, put an end to her endless suffering. But if things were that simple, her soul would not have ended up in hell, constantly subjected to torment and anguish for what she had done, and only Chris is capable of breaking this mad cycle of events by setting out in search of his beloved.

I think the film does, to a lesser extent, reveal this endless, internal struggle of the main characters. After all, it’s impossible to portray absolutely every thought that has accumulated inside each of them through a film adaptation, but at the same time, this aspect was explored in as much detail as possible, which helped create a sense of real presence.

Our melancholy world sorely misses Robin Williams! Perhaps there’s no better way to say that this amazing man brought so much good into this world through his performances, and now, years after he’s gone, every time I watch a movie he starred in, I offer a silent “thank you”: for the tears, the laughter, the joy and the sorrow, for all those moments and incredible emotions that I was able to experience at least once. An Actor with a capital “A,” who just as masterfully demonstrated the full extent of his talents to us, revealing to the world Chris Nielsen’s unfathomable tenacity, his struggles, and his unshakable belief in his own success.

Annabella Sciorra is incredibly tender and heartfelt in the role of Annie. Her portrayal is extraordinary, fully bringing her character to life.

'What Dreams May Come' is a truly beautiful work, thoroughly imbued with love, tenderness, and awe, conveying the idea that no matter what, it’s important to fight and never back down—that you must never give up, because sometimes, when you lose, you actually win.
