I Had a Dream

About This Movie

I Had a Dream is an intriguing exploration of political themes through music, really. Loudon Wainwright, with his distinct voice and biting wit, conjures a world that's both absurd and unsettling as he imagines the ramifications of Trump's presidency. The pacing feels almost like a stream of consciousness, blending humor with a deep sense of unease. There's something raw about the way he delivers the song, almost like he's wrestling with his own fears and frustrations. It’s not your typical music film, more like a reflective piece that captures a moment in time. The atmosphere is a mix of melancholy and irony, which adds layers to Wainwright's performance.

Interesting take on political themes through song.Unique pacing that feels contemplative.Raw performances that resonate with the viewer.
