About This Movie

You Are Dreaming is an intriguing expedition into the mind of a photographer, Marya Lamotte, whose art is deeply personal yet ethereal. The film creates this hazy atmosphere, pulling you into her insomnia-fueled reality where dreams and waking life blur. There's a rawness in the performances, especially with Marya's struggle against her creative block, which feels painfully relatable. The pacing is somewhat languid, reflective of her sleepless nights, immersing you in her desolation. Practical effects are minimal but effective, often enhanced by haunting lighting that gives her dream recreations an otherworldly quality.
