It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Before watching this movie I read everyone else's reviews on this page. They all said it was good, so I watched it on netflix. IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! The idea was done so may times before (see in my sleep)and never well. The whole love at first sight s**t was just unbelievable and just the basic corniness of it ruined it. The fill makers tried to mesh a gritty dark drama with a fluffy love story and it did not work. With that said, the filming wasn't that bad neither was the acting. But because the characters were written so badly it was hard to relate to this movie. I really wish it was written better, and that no everyone on IMDb gave it such good reviews ( it was misleading).

Not many people have voted for Daydreamer, and even less have written a review. Because of this I'm writing this review, and with English not being my native language, I'll try my best to make it understandable for everyone.The reason I watched Daydreamer is the brilliant acting Aaron Paul has shown us as Jesse Pinkman in the television series Breaking Bad (if you haven't watched it, stop reading and go watch it now). In this movie Aaron Paul has a slightly similar role as in Breaking Bad.In Daydreamer he's a young drug-addict that has no ambition to change the miserable path he's on. And then he meets this classy blonde girl that turns his life upside down without him even realising it. It sounds cliché right? It's not. The movie keeps you guessing what's going on. Not even the main character knows what's going on. And the ending, it really caught me by surprise.Overall it's a good movie, it's honest, dark, cruel and brilliantly edited. It definitely deserves more views than it has right now.

i saw this film at Vail and liked it very much. i was impressed with the heart and soul of it as it was obvious these people were committed to it's living in the screen. the script was compelling and well written. Aaron Paul did a fine job maintaining his through line. kebbel was lovely and entrancing. i thought James wellington in particular was riveting when on the screen. the director captured very well a seedy, dangerous lifestyle that does exist. the obvious low budget is a little distracting at times, but almost seems to enhance at others. the photography seems to be completely hand-held and is excellent. i hope to see more from these first time film makers.

It has the look and feel of a bad high school play, where basic elements of pacing and plot were unknown to the producer(s). Even the name "Daydreamer" doesn't make sense in the context of the film. It's a confusing story that starts out muddled and gets worse as the movie goes on. There are holes in the story that aren't resolved, despite their apparent attempt to "wrap it up" at the end. The camera work is sophomoric to the point where I believe someone bought their kid a Sony DVW for Hanukkah and they suddenly thought they could make a movie. The actors are like so much of Hollywood today: models that look good on screen but can't act their way out of a grocery bag. This movie made my head hurt; not because it's nonsensical and hard to watch, but because someone actually paid money to make it.
