In Your Dreams (2025)

‘In Your Dreams’ Offers a Fun Line in Surreal Imagery & Family Issues. Not everything works here, but the movie has enough imagination to appeal to a wide audience, while handily undercutting any treacly sentiment. You might be more used to hearing about the Sandman –– particularly on Netflix –– via the work of a certain controversial author.

But the concept of the mythological figure who can weave dreams has been used in stories for centuries, which also presents something of a challenge when someone wants to use it. Fortunately in the case of Netflix’s new animated charmer ‘In Your Dreams’, it’s a recipe for wild adventures, silly characters and a storyline that only occasionally dips into treacly sentiment.
