]]>Director Dag Johan Haugerud is known for his deeply introspective storytelling, and Dreams marks the final chapter in his unofficial trilogy exploring power, relationships, and identity. This latest installment continues his signature style of blending personal and societal themes, challenging audiences to rethink love and desire across generations.
If you’re looking for a film that breaks free from the usual love story tropes and dives deep into the complexities of attraction, generational expectations, and self-discovery, here’s why Dreams deserves your attention.
At its core, Dreams is about Johanne, a teenage girl who develops an intense infatuation with her French teacher, Johanna. But this isn’t your typical coming-of-age romance—it’s the kind of story that peels back the layers of love and longing to reveal something far more universal.
As Johanne wrestles with her feelings, her mother and grandmother are forced to confront their own pasts and the love stories they never got to live. The film weaves their experiences together, painting a picture of how our longings—whether realized or unspoken—shape who we become.
Few movies explore love in such an unfiltered, deeply human way. Dreams isn’t just about romance—it’s about:
It’s the kind of movie that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, sparking introspection and compelling conversations about love, identity, and the choices we make.
A film like this only works if the performances hit home, and this cast delivers in a big way. Ella Øverbye, as Johanne, perfectly captures the raw emotion of a young woman on the brink of self-discovery. Selome Emnetu, as her teacher, adds a quiet depth that makes their dynamic all the more fascinating.
And then there’s the supporting cast—Johanne’s mother and grandmother—whose own untold stories add even more emotional weight. It’s rare to see a movie where every character feels so authentic, so lived-in, and it’s a testament to director Dag Johan Haugerud’s skill in bringing these deeply human stories to life.
Between its stunning cinematography, nuanced storytelling, and fearless exploration of love, Dreams is easily one of the most talked-about films of the year. Winning the Golden Bear at Berlinale cements its place as a must-watch, but more importantly, it’s a film that leaves a lasting impact.
If you’re tired of predictable love stories and want a film that challenges, moves, and sticks with you, this one belongs on your list.

However, you can still give it a watch, and we couldn’t urge you enough. This utopian experimental l community set in the 1950s is filled with secrets until it is all questioned by Florence Pugh’s character Alice.

Some movies, such as Nomadland and Promising Young Women, are basically a lock for the Oscars because they’ve been nominated for all the other awards along the way. Make sure they’re the first on your watch list, before switching your focus to movies that aren’t clear front-runners. Also try to find a balance between comedies and dramas, because you won’t always be in the mood for both.
Seeing movies shouldn’t feel like a chore, but a fun activity. There are some award-nominated movies that simply won’t vibe with you, and if you don’t find yourself drawn to the plot, there’s nothing bad about skipping them.
