"Dream Scenario" is a creative exploration of cancel culture, and the way social media creates a mob rule where the herd decides who belongs and who doesn't and the victim doesn't get a say.
I would have given the film a higher rating if it hadn't gone on quite as long as it did. It starts to lose its way a bit in the last third, and it felt like the story was ready to be over before the movie was. It also became literally difficult for me to watch after a time, because I felt so bad and frustrated for Nicolas Cage's character.
But I mostly enjoyed the film's originality and its ability to articulate a beef I have myself with our current culture.
Grade: A-
