Dream Scenario (2023)

SPOILERS BELOW

A solid execution, but the allegory for internet fame was so close that they may as well have not bothered with the dream stuff and just had it be about a milkshake ducked guy. It felt like a semi-Kaufman. And when they do finally commit to the concept for a few minutes at the end, it conflicts with the rest of the movie which had up till then kept it ambiguous at best as to whether anything metaphysical had happened (and in fact seemed to be leaning towards it being coincidence until the internet article at which point it became mass suggestion).

Rating: intriguing but timid
