Dream Scenario Review: Nicolas Cage Is Superb In Borgli’s Imaginative Comedy

Writer-director Kristoffer Borgli delivers a zany, evocative film that examines the price of fame, cancel culture, masculinity, and anxiety-driven impotence. Dream Scenario starts off as a series of comedic events that grow dark over the course of the film. And while the tonal shift doesn’t fully work, and the final third barely scratches the surface of corporate-funded celebrity and fallout, Dream Scenario boasts a layered performance from Nicolas Cage, and thought-provoking, focused themes that are largely well-executed throughout a magnetic, smart, and imaginative film.
